Hunger protest : Tinubu to address Nigerians Sunday

President Bola Tinubu will on Sunday, August 4, address the nation in a broadcast at 7:00 am.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale, made the disclosure in a statement on Saturday, titled ‘President Tinubu to address the nation.’

He urged television, radio, and other electronic media outlets to join the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority and the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria for the broadcast.

The statement added, “The broadcast will be repeated on the network services of the NTA and the FRCN at 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm on the same day.”

It would be recalled that protesters have continued to hit the streets in Lagos, Oyo, Abuja and other states as they call for, among others, the reversal of fuel subsidy removal and the skyrocketing price of goods and services in the country.

The ‘End Hunger’ protest has, however, been marred with reported lootings by hoodlums in Kano and other northern parts of the country with the police going after the culprits to recover some items.
