Tinubu lists 3 of his achievements as reasons Nigerians should not protest | Read More
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has insisted that Nigerian youths have no need to continue the planned protest scheduled to start from August 1.
Speaking to a delegation of Islamic leaders led by Sheikh Bala Lau, at the State House on Thursday, the president listed the student loan scheme, N70,000 new national minimum wage and the establishment of the consumer credit initiative as reasons Nigerians should not embark on protest.
Tinubu said;
“We are reworking the social welfare scheme to reach the ward level, which is the closest to our people. We are going to ensure that we re-establish connection with the wards, again, so that we can give allowances to the poor and the vulnerable.
“The student loans will pay for school fees. There will be monetary support for the education of our children. The consumer credit will support citizens to buy cars and houses, and they can repay gradually.
“We have increased the minimum wage by more than 100 percent.”
