Based on the statement from President Bola Tinubu, conveyed through Minister Mohammed Idris, it appears that Tinubu is urging Nigerians, particularly the youth planning a protest against the high cost of living, to reconsider their action. He acknowledges their grievances and assures them that the government is actively addressing their concerns about the country’s economy. Tinubu suggests that rather than protest, they should await the government’s response and reassures them that their voices are being heard and taken seriously.
He said, ‘We discussed the issue of the country in general and Mr President has asked me to again inform Nigerians that he listens to them, especially the young people that are trying to protest.

“Mr President said he listens to them and takes what they say seriously and he is working assiduously to ensure that this country is good not just for today but also for the future.

“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, he has listened to them.”
