Minister Tunji-Ojo Urges Nigerians to Support President Tinubu Amid Planned Protest
Minister of Interior Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo has called on Nigerians to rally behind President Bola Tinubu during what he has described as a crucial ‘transformative period’ for the country.
This appeal comes as the nation prepares for a planned nationwide protest set to begin on August 1, aimed at addressing issues of governance.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Tunji-Ojo urged the public to support President Tinubu, emphasizing the importance of collective effort during this significant phase.
The Minister described Tinubu as a bold, audacious, and resilient leader, committed to tackling the longstanding problems facing Nigeria.
Tunji-Ojo’s statement also addressed the protest organizers, who remain largely unidentified.
Despite appeals from the President and various prominent figures for the protest to be postponed, it seems the organizers are intent on proceeding.
The Minister’s remarks reflect a growing concern about the potential impact of the protest on national stability.
The Minister highlighted that, after 64 years of independence, Nigeria is at a pivotal juncture where both reflection and resolve are necessary.
He praised President Tinubu for his determination and bold approach to resolving the nation’s issues, stressing that the President’s efforts are aimed at improving the lives of Nigerians.
According to Tunji-Ojo, President Tinubu is deeply aware of the current difficulties faced by Nigerians and is diligently working to address them.
The Minister urged citizens to unite and support Tinubu’s administration, suggesting that such solidarity is crucial for overcoming the nation’s challenges.
He called on all Nigerians to embrace a strong sense of patriotism and national pride, asserting that the collective strength of the nation lies in its unity.
Tunji-Ojo emphasized that President Tinubu’s leadership symbolizes the collective aspirations of Nigerians for a more prosperous and equitable future.
The Minister’s appeal underscores the belief that through shared commitment and resilience, Nigeria can achieve significant progress.
He urged Nigerians to renew their support for President Tinubu, assuring them that with united efforts, any obstacles can be overcome and the vision of a better Nigeria can be realized.
In summary, Tunji-Ojo’s statement is a call for national unity and support for the President as he navigates the country through a critical period.
The Minister’s words are an invitation for all Nigerians to stand together, reaffirming their commitment to a brighter future and backing the President’s efforts to build a stronger, more prosperous nation.
The Federal Government has announced an extension of the NYSC programme. It can be noted that the NYSC camp orientation is usually for three weeks before the youths go out to gain experience, employment, and serve the country for one year.
However, the FG announced that the passing-out parade from camp will be cancelled, and corps members will now spend six weeks in camp instead of three weeks.
“The first two weeks speak to laying a foundation on civic responsibility. The next two weeks will look at career mapping, basic accounting literacy skills, business planning and access to finance. The final two weeks, we intend to have focused corps-stream-specific training aligned with the corps member’s designated stream based on his choice, academic background and skills profile.”
With the rainy season in Nigeria, many are wondering if the increase in flooding has now become the new normal. Lots of videos, clips, and complaints have literally flooded online, showing how badly roads, homes, and other places have been affected.
We were used to hearing about the rise of water on the Island since it is literally surrounded by water, but now floods are being spotted on the Mainland as well.
We may not know exactly why this is happening, but one thing is certain—we urgently need a lasting solution.
The federal government reacted to claims stating that the new tax rules will be imposed on telecommunications and petroleum products for Nigerians.
The FG released a statement to explain the process and stated that there is no intention to place taxes on telecom and petroleum products and services.
“Those recommendations do not amount to government policy and are not binding on Nigeria. Decisions on tax matters are taken through established constitutional and legislative processes and are guided by national priorities and prevailing economic realities.”
