The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, George Akume, is currently meeting with ministers on the proposed nationwide protest against economic hardship by Nigerian youths.
The meeting, which is being convened behind closed doors, has all 40 ministers in the president’s cabinet in attendance.
Some of the ministers spotted are Nyesom Wike (FCT), Yusuf Tuggar (Foreign Affairs), Zephaniah Jisalo (Special Duties), Tahir Mamman (Education), and Abubakar Bagudu (Budget and Planning).
Others are Wale Edun (Finance), Mohammed Idris (Information), Bello Matawalle (Defence), David Umahi (Works), and the National Security Adviser (NSA) Nuhu Ribadu, amongst others.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu on Tuesday pleaded with Nigerians to shelve a planned ‘EndBadGovernance’ protest slated for August 1.
The protest against economic hardship, organized by faceless persons or groups, has gained traction on social media and has been scheduled to be held across all states of the Federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.
