Federal Government, on Monday, declared that the planned nationwide protests are no longer necessary as it is already addressing the demands of aggrieved Nigerians.

Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, stated this while addressing State House Correspondents at the end of Monday’s Federal Executive Council meeting.

According to him, “Many of the issues that those planning the protest are putting forward are being addressed. Government is putting efforts to make sure that food is made available.

“Rice has been taken to various centres across the country and it is being sold for N40,000. This is just the beginning and necessary first step. Other efforts are underway.

“There is so much investment that is going into the agricultural sector and we believe that as we move forward, the price of food will come down.”

The Minister added that the President believes that the government is addressing the demands by the youths, saying, “The student loan is making sure that no youth that wants to go to school will be left out. By the time the CNG takes full course, the transportation issues will be resolved.”
