President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday, appealed to Nigerians planning to stage a nationwide hunger protest to reconsider their plans.
He also urged citizens to allow his administration sufficient time to address their concerns.
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, shared this information with State House Correspondents following a closed-door meeting with President Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.
He said: –
“On the issue of the planned protest, Mr. President does not see any need for that.
He asked them to shelve that plan and he has asked them to await the government’s response to all their pleas.
“So, there is no need for strike.
The young people out there should listen to the President and allow the President more time to see to the realisation of all the goodies he has for them.”
His comments come days after calls for nationwide protests from August 1-10 against the rising cost of living and the economic hardship.
