Plateau State Government has applauded protesters in the State for peaceful, orderly and disciplinary manners they go about the protest.
Plateau Commissioner for Information and Communication Hon Musa Ashom gave the commendation in a statement in Jos on Saturday.
Ashom said: “The recent protests in Plateau State have been a refreshing departure from the often chaotic and destructive narratives that often accompany such demonstrations.
“It is commendable to witness citizens exercising their constitutional right to protest while maintaining a high level of discipline and respect for public property.”
The Commissioner noted Governor Caleb Manasseh Mutfwang has rightly acknowledged the right of citizens to express their grievances peacefully and lauded the protesters for choosing a non-violent approach to convey their message.
“Such actions not only contrast sharply with the destructive tendencies seen in some quarters but also underscore the potential for protests to be platforms for positive change.
“We must also extend our gratitude to the security agencies for their professionalism in handling the protests. Their role in maintaining peace and order cannot be overemphasized,” he said.
He acknowledged the decision of the protesters to clean up the streets after their demonstrations is a testament to their civic consciousness and love for their community.
