President Bola Tinubu has once again addressed the nation, urging citizens to remain calm and patient as his administration works to address the country’s economic challenges. The plea comes as protests continue to spread across several states, with demonstrators demanding the reinstatement of fuel subsidies removed by the president on May 29, 2023.
In a video released by the State House on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, President Tinubu acknowledged the difficulties faced by Nigerians, attributing the hardship to an “avoidable lag” between the subsidy removal and the implementation of his administration’s plans. He reassured citizens that his policies would ultimately yield positive results, emphasizing his commitment to promoting the greatest good for the greatest number of people.
This is the second time President Tinubu has addressed the nation amid the ongoing protests and unrest, following his national broadcast on Sunday, August 4, 2024.
