The lawmakers under the aegis of the Northern Senators Forum, in a statement signed by its Chairman, Abdulaziz Musa Yar’adua, on Monday, said Tinubu’s decision demonstrates his commitment to protecting the rights and well-being of Nigeria’s youth.
“By his directive to the Attorney-General of the Federation, Lateef Fagbemi, to expedite the release process, this is a welcome development, and we appreciate the president’s leadership in addressing this critical issue.
“I would also like to acknowledge the efforts of leaders in the North who have worked tirelessly to secure the release of these minors. Their dedication and advocacy have been instrumental in bringing this matter to the forefront, and we are grateful for their commitment to the welfare of our young people.
As we move forward, I urge leaders in the North to prioritize the safety and education of our children. It is essential that we create an environment where they can grow and thrive, free from harm and exploitation. Let us work together to ensure that our youth receive the support and resources they need to become active contributors to Nigeria’s growth and development,” the statement read in part.
Tinubu directed the immediate release of all the detained minors following the outrage that trailed their arrest and arraignment over the #EndBadGovernance protests held in several parts of the country in August.

Tinubu promotes acting COAS Oluyede to Lieutenant General
By Francesca Hangeior.
President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday decorated the acting Chief of Army Staff, Olufemi Oluyede, as Lieutenant General.
It was gathered that the short ceremony took place in the President’s office complex at the State House, Abuja.
“President Tinubu decorates acting Chief of Army Staff, Oluyede, as Lt. General,” a snippet from the president’s communications team read Tuesday.
Tinubu had appointed Oluyede as the acting Chief of Army Staff last Wednesday, even as his predecessor, Taoreed Lagbaja, remains indisposed for weeks.
