A former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido, has urged the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led administration of President Bola Tinubu to take pre-emptive measures against the general discontent in the country arising from poverty, high cost of living and widespread insecurity, to avert an impending disaster.
In a similar vein, human rights activist and convener, Concerned Nigerians, Deji Adeyanju, called on President Tinubu to reconsider the suspension of the National Social Investment Programmes (NSIP) because of prevailing hunger, hardship, and food insecurity plaguing the nation.
Thousands of Nigerians in Minna, the Niger State capital, had taken to the streets recently in protest against what they described as severe hunger and escalating cost of living. There have been similar protests in Kano, Plateau and Kogi States.
