 Aftermath of Violent Protest: Governor Inuwa Inspects Damaged Infrastructure,  Facilities in Gombe


… Directs SEMA to Assess Level of Destruction, Assures of Government's Support


...Urges Residents to go about their Lawful Businesses, as Normalcy Returns 


Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, CON, has on Friday, toured some damaged facilities to assess the level of destruction caused by the violent protest in Gombe metropolis. 


During the visit, Governor Inuwa Yahaya expressed concern over the extensive damage inflicted on both public and private properties while assuring the people of the government's commitment to maintaining peace and stability in the state.


“I have gone round to personally assess the extensive damage caused by the violent protest. From what I have seen, the destruction is enormous.  Not just public facilities, businesses were also affected”, the Governor lamented. 


He emphasized the importance of preserving peace in Gombe, a state known for its stability. 


“Gombe is known for its peace, and we must preserve it. We cannot allow actions that threaten our stability. We have no state other than Gombe. We understand that there are challenges and hardships in the land, but we must not resort to violence and destruction of our state to express our feelings or concerns”, the Governor said. 


“Let me make it clear: we are not against peaceful protest. We know that democracy and our laws grant the right to express oneself, but yesterday’s event contradicted democratic principles and violated the law. We are ready to support any peaceful demonstration, and the police are ready to give protesters the maximum protection to exercise their constitutional rights once they follow the laid down rules. What we cannot allow, let me re-emphasize, is the breakdown of law and order”, the Governor added. 


Governor Inuwa Yahaya further urged residents to resume their economic and social activities, assuring them of safety and security.  "I urge everyone to resume their daily activities; farmers should return to their farms and business owners should reopen their shops. No one should get panicked. We assure you of safety and security.”


Governor Inuwa Yahaya stated that he chose not to impose a curfew in the face of the violent protest to avoid subjecting people to further hardship given the current situation.


Governor Inuwa Yahaya also commended the swift response and professionalism displayed by the security agencies in containing the situation, saying "We commend the security agencies for the efforts they put in tackling the escalation of the violence. Their prompt action played a crucial role in preventing further chaos and restoring order.”


Locations visited by the Governor included the Gombe State Bureau of Public Service Reforms, the famous Bima Lodge,  Kumbiya-Kumbiya Primary Healthcare Centre, Blue Jay Motor Park– a commercial motor company where six Sienna vehicles were destroyed, and Gombe Main Market where he engaged with business owners, offering words of consolation for the losses incurred. 


To ensure that those whose properties have been damaged receive adequate support, the Governor directed the the Ministry of Works, Transport and Housing and the State Emergency Management Agency (SEMA) to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the damages, with a view to providing support.

  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...
