President Bola Tinubu is currently presiding over a security council meeting as protests continue nationwide, defying his call over the weekend to suspend further actions and engage in dialogue.
The demonstrations have escalated into looting and destruction in some areas including Kaduna State.
In his speech on Sunday, President Tinubu underscored the government’s unwavering commitment to maintaining public order and safeguarding the lives and property of all citizens. He issued a stern warning that threats and ethnic bigotry will not be tolerated. Acknowledging the turmoil and loss of lives resulting from the violent protests, he called for an end to the protest.
