By israel adamu, jos

Former minister of youth and sports development, barr. Solomon dalung, on thursday, joined the street protest calling for good governance and social justice in jos, the plateau state capital.

Our correspondent reports that thousands of people stormed secretariat junction flyover in jos and trekked from there to old airport roundabout, opposite nasco, to call for the end of bad governance in the country.

The ex minster who spoke to the crowd that converged for the august 1 nationwide protests against hardship and hunger in nigeria, admonished security operatives not to intimidate the protesters, because the amended nigerian constitution gives rights to citizens to stage peaceful protest.

Dalung, who served as a minister in the first tenure of the immediate-past administration of president muhammadu buhari between 2015 and 2019, noted that the suffering of nigerians was becoming unbearable.

According to him, there was the urgent need for government at all levels to sit up with a view to address some of the challenges confronting the country.

Some of the peaceful protesters carried placards with inscriptions such as “we deserved nigeria with security and value of lives”, “we deserved a nigeria with good rural and urban roads, a nigeria where accountability and prudence is a national culture”, among other messages to president bola tinubu government.
