Foreign Governments Warn Of Violence During August 1 Protest
The United States, United Kingdom, and Canada have issued travel alerts warning of potential violence during the planned #EndBadGovernance protest on August 1 in Nigeria.
The three countries cautioned their nationals in Nigeria to avoid areas where protests may occur, citing past incidents of clashes between security agencies and protesters.
The advisories come as market leaders in various states, including Abuja, Sokoto, Kano, Katsina, Ogun, Osun, Zamfara, and Gombe, have requested increased security presence around markets during the protests.
The US Embassy in Nigeria warned, “Demonstrations can turn violent with little notice, and security services may use force to disperse protesters.”
The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office advised, “You should avoid areas where protests are taking place and be aware of your surroundings at all times.”
The Canadian government cautioned, “Avoid areas where demonstrations are taking place, as they can turn violent without notice.”
The warnings highlight concerns about potential violence and unrest during the planned protests, and the need for caution and vigilance
In a bid to reduce the country’s planet-warming emissions, the UK government has announced a £180 million investment in solar panels for hundreds of schools and hospitals across the country.
This move is part of the government’s efforts to achieve its long-term climate goals and reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
The investment, which is the first major project from Great British Energy, the government’s new state owned energy company, is expected to provide solar panels for 200 schools and 200 hospitals.
This will not only help reduce energy bills but also cut carbon emissions and promote sustainability.
According to Energy Secretary Ed Miliband, “Great British Energy’s first major project will be to help our vital public institutions save hundreds of millions on bills to reinvest on the frontline.”
He added that the project will help reduce the financial pressure of energy bills on schools and hospitals.
The announcement has been welcomed by schools, unions, and NHS estate managers, who have long been advocating for measures to reduce energy costs.
Paul Whiteman, NAHT general secretary, said that the investment is a “step in the right direction” and will help schools manage energy bills, which have been a significant financial burden in recent years.
However, not everyone is optimistic about the investment.
Andrew Bowie, shadow energy secretary, argued that the government’s net zero plans will make the country “poorer.”
He claimed that the investment will lead to increased reliance on foreign powers like Russia.
In contrast, energy experts believe that investing in renewable energy will reduce the UK’s reliance on imports.
Jess Ralston, energy analyst at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, said that the investment in solar panels will improve energy security and reduce the amount of gas imported from countries like Russia.
The first solar panels are expected to be installed by the end of the summer, with a focus on areas of “highest need.”
