 The governor of Lagos State, Papaji Desong Oulu, has announced the setting up of a joint working committee to resolve issues surrounding the recent demolition of properties in some markets in the state, especially the Alaba International Market. He made this known while speaking to the press after a meeting with Governor Hope Uzard Imah of Imos State, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Honourable Ben Kalu and some Igbo Market leaders in Lagos. It is not only peculiar to Southeast. There is virtually no part of this country that is not challenged. It has a lot of Boko Haram, Banditry, kidnapping, and non-government in the Southeast. That is what we have seen of late, where the government has risen to the occasion. In Imos, that was almost the epicenter, it is worst because in the course of the happenings, the prison, the center prison in Oweri was broken and over 1800 criminals escaped. We've made pronouncements to bound the Monday seat at home and our people are responding to it. And we, you know, the Monday seat at home thing, it only exists in the minds of people. But in reality, our people go out to work on Mondays. Now that government has removed exclusivity of power and rail. They can join together and build rail lines that goes around the states and also do some road projects together. If they can get security, well, get this infrastructure. I'm sure there will be a flow of investment in the Southeast and that will improve the attractiveness. I mean, you know that investments do not respect anything else. They respect where they are safe, where they are, you know, rewarded. And that's ... Some of the mis-conceptions surrounding the actions of the government have been cleared in the meeting. I think that the committee will go around to verify things and put out information to correct media reviews. The thing had gone up very successfully. We discussed issues around common interest, especially issues bordering on recent demolition around the Alaba market where there have been a lot of wrong information. There's been all sort of wrong communication that has gone out. Our conversation here this afternoon has cleared the air. We've seen that indeed, there's need for us to continue to further collaborate where wrongs have been expressed. We've corrected all of the issues and reviews. We've joined a small working committee that will go around and verify and see things for ourselves and be able to put all of the negative information and media reviews out correctly. Thank you.
