 After Kenya Uprising, Ex-Senate President Warns FG Against Hunger-Induced Protests


Former Senate President Ahmed Lawal on Tuesday asked the federal government address the current food crisis and insecurity in the country to avert any potential protests. 

His warning on the heels of the recent situation in Kenya where violent protests by citizens against government’s move to increase taxes evolved into demands for better governance and resignation of President William Ruto.

The Senate urged the federal government to alleviate hunger and poverty, following a motion sponsored by Senator Karimi Sunday Steve (Kogi West) and co-sponsored by Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (Borno South) on the “urgent need to address food insecurity and market exploitation of consumables in Nigeria” and debated by senators during plenary.

Senator Karimi expressed displeasure that between March and now, the prices of food items in the market have skyrocketed beyond imagination, and asked the Senate to take measures aimed at saving the situation.

In his contribution, Senator Ahmad Lawan said that Nigerians were facing real hunger, stressing that the Senate must immediately engage the executive on the issue.


Lawan, a former Senate President, said, “If we don’t take urgent actions on increased food prices, electricity tariff, we will not like the actions we will see in the streets. We can’t take the people for granted for too long.”

Also, Senator Ndume lamented that Nigeria has been listed as one of the countries experiencing food crisis, stressing that the issue of food insecurity should be taken seriously.

Similarly, Senator Ahmed Wadada (Nasarawa West), said Nigerians are patient people, but stressed that there would come a time they would not be patient under the atmosphere of hunger.

In his submission, the Senate President Godswill Akpabio, argued that food insecurity was one of the consequences of 10 years of insecurity including the issue of farmer-herder clashes in the country.

He said, “There is no doubt that the government must rise to the occasion. The food situation is an emergency. We must save our people. We must assist our people to produce. The primary role of government is to ensure the welfare and security of the people.”

  SSANU, NASU threaten strike over withheld salaries The Joint Action Committee of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities and the Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions have threatened to disrupt industrial peace in universities should the government fail to release the withheld salaries of members. The salaries were seized by the administration of former President Muhammadu Buhari during their strike in 2022. The unions, in a joint letter signed on Friday by the President of SSANU, Muhammed Ibrahim and General Secretary of NASU, Peters Adeyemi, questioned the rationale with which the government released four months withheld salaries to members of the Academic Staff Union of Universities but failed to release the withheld salaries of non-academic staff. The unions noted that they would no longer be able to assure the government of industrial peace in universities should the amounts owed by the government are not released. Earlier, the uni...
