President Bola Tinubu has appealed to Nigerians who plan to stage nationwide hunger protests to shelve the plan.
The President also urged the citizens to give his administration enough time to respond to their requests.
The request was revealed by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, to State House Correspondents after closed-door talks with President Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.

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.
