In another development, the attention of the Nasarawa State Government has been drawn to an editorial published by an online medium listing Nasarawa as one of the northern states where the protesters hoisted the Russian flag during the recent nationwide protest. In a statement released by the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on public affairs Hon. Peter Ahemba Nasarawa state government has debunked this allegation in its entirety. The claim that protesters hoisted the Russian flag during the recent protest in the state has no iota of truth. The allegation is false, misleading and mischievous. He also said it is on record that the said nationwide protest recorded low turn up in the state, owing to the fact that most of the demands canvassed by the protesters had been substantially met by the government of Governor Abdullahi Sule with support by the Federal Government through palliative schemes.
