Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has received an assurance from students of the Lagos State University (LASU) to join him on a peace walk in December.

They spoke on Thursday after the Governor commissioned the newly built students arcade LASU main campus in Ojo.

The LASU students Arcade is the largest Student Union Building in any Nigerian tertiary institution.

Sanwo-Olu, while reacting to the recent findings of the #EndSARS Judicial Panel of Inquiry set up to investigate cases of police brutality in the State as well as the tragic shooting of protesters at the Lekki toll gate on the 20th of October, 2020, had invited key campaigners to join him on a peace walk for some time in December.

But musicians Falz, Seun Kuti and comedian Mr Macaroni rejected the offer for varied reasons.

However, the LASU student union president, Comrade Oladipupo Badmus announced that all students of the State- owned tertiary institution have resolved to walk with the Governor for peace and prosperity of the State.

Badmus, who led hundreds of students to welcome the Governor to the institution with Speaker of the Students Union Representatives, Rt. Hon. Mustapha Adejuwon, to welcome Babajide, described him as a youth-centric Governor.

They commended the Governor’s giant strides in Lagos State, especially in the education sector.

Governor Sanwo-Olu donated two big buses to the Students Union as well as other gadgets and equipment for students’ use.
