**Fatshimetrie: A critical look at the news of October 1st**
At the heart of the debates and tensions that animate the political and social scene, the shadow of a date loaded with symbols and multiple meanings is emerging: October 1st. Within the Coalition of Civil Society Groups, representative voices of the citizens of Kaduna, the question of the national demonstrations planned for this day takes on crucial importance.
In a resolutely committed statement, the spokesperson of the Coalition, Comrade Yusuf Lawal, clearly expressed his disapproval of these demonstrations. For him, October 1st should be a day of celebration, a tribute to the heroes of the past and a collective reflection on the path traveled as a State and nation. He urges the population to turn to forms of constructive dialogue rather than giving in to the temptation of disruption and violence.
The emphasis is on the importance of unity and respect for common history. The recognition of the government’s efforts to improve the quality of life of citizens, particularly through the establishment of vocational training centers scheduled for December, is highlighted. These centers represent a major opportunity for community development and economic empowerment. It is therefore crucial that the selection process for these programs be transparent, fair and free of any favoritism or nepotism.
The Coalition strongly encourages residents to actively engage in the upcoming local elections, advocating for the expression of their concerns and change through democratic means. It particularly warns about the participation of children in the demonstrations, emphasizing the urgent need for parental responsibility and child protection in the face of political issues.
Beyond the criticisms addressed to the government, the Coalition calls for the necessary time to be granted to fulfill the commitments made. The recent demonstrations have resulted in violence, vandalism and tragedies, negatively impacting the local economy and diverting valuable resources that could have been dedicated to development and social services.
In light of this, the Coalition warns against the harm caused by protests, highlighting the negative economic, social and political consequences that follow. Reaffirming its faith in the power of dialogue and cooperation to solve problems and build a prosperous future, it calls for caution and collective reflection.
In conclusion, the united voice of the Coalition of Civil Society Groups resonates as a call for wisdom, responsibility and active citizenship. The news of October 1st is thus tinged with a new light, that of a deep commitment to the common good and social peace.
