President Bola Tinubu to Address the Nation Today at 7:00 PM As Labor Gears for Strike

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is set to address the Nation on Monday (today) at 7 pm.

The President’s Special Adviser on Strategy, Communication and Special Duties, Dele Alake, announced this in a statement released on Monday morning.

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will make a broadcast to the nation on Monday, July 31, 2023, at 7 pm.

“Television, radio stations and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority and Radio Nigeria for the broadcast,” the statement read.

The broadcast may not be unconnected to the removal of subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, known better as petrol, and its accompanying effect on the cost of living of Nigerians.

This is as the Nigeria Labour Congress commenced mass mobilisation ahead of its planned nationwide strike scheduled to begin Wednesday, August 2 to protest the hardship occasioned by the fuel subsidy removal.

In a schedule released in Abuja on Sunday, the NLC urged Nigerians to “join us at the Unity Fountain, Abuja on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, at 7 am.”

“There is nowhere in the world where government leaves its citizens totally to the vagaries of the market without some measure of control and protection. The Federal Government should immediately deal decisively with the criminal content of subsidy instead of exposing ordinary citizens to avoidable pain and hardship.

“As a matter of national importance, it is imperative to fix all our refineries to be able to cater to domestic fuel consumption,” the NLC said.
