Minister of information and national orientation, Mohammed Idris stated this on Monday while briefing newsmen on the outcomes the Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by President Tinubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

 

 

He said government has launched several initiatives aimed at alleviating the economic hardships currently facing Nigerians.

 

He said “the position of the FEC is that most of the demands that the protesters are making are actually being addresses by the federal government.

“And therefore it is the view of the government that there is really no need for the protests again because most of those things that the protesters are putting forward are already actually been addressed or are being addressed by government and like we have said repeatedly, this is a listing government.

 

“The President has listened to be voices of all those who are planning this protest. And the message is that there is no need for it.

 

“Indeed, the President is already protesting on their behalf by doing those things that they want a government to do for example, the effort that government is making, in ensuring that food is being made available.

Idris listed some key initiatives the administration has taken to include; distribution of subsidized rice at 40,000 Naira per bag, a 50% discount from market prices.allocation of 20 trucks to each state for food distribution to the most vulnerable.

 

Others, according to him, included commencement of student loan disbursements, with provisions for over two million students, plans to employ about 3 million youth through the MTT program and introduction of CNG vehicles to potentially reduce transportation costs by 60%.

 

The Minister noted that while these efforts may not be sufficient to address all concerns immediately, they represent “necessary first steps” in the government’s broader economic strategy.
