The Ondo State government has issued a heartfelt plea to Nigerian students, urging them to be patient with President Bola Tinubu as he navigates the challenges facing the nation.
This appeal comes in the wake of a planned nationwide protest scheduled from August 1 to August 15, organized by students and other groups frustrated by the current economic hardships, including rising food prices and widespread unemployment.
President Tinubu has acknowledged these concerns and has called for a postponement of the protests, promising that his administration is committed to addressing the issues at hand.
He has outlined plans to introduce measures aimed at alleviating the struggles faced by citizens, including stipends for unemployed graduates.
However, the atmosphere remains tense, with opposition leaders and some state governors expressing worries about the potential for unrest during the protests.
The Ondo government’s message emphasizes the importance of patience and dialogue as the country seeks to overcome its challenges and work towards a brighter future.
