Lagos, Nigeria — In a dramatic turn of events, President Bola Tinubu is set to address the nation 7 am tomorrow morning in response to the escalating hunger protests sweeping across the country, Njenje Media reports.
The announcement comes as tens of thousands of Nigerians take to the streets, expressing their frustration and desperation over worsening food shortages and skyrocketing prices.
The protests, which began in major cities such as Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, have quickly spread to rural areas, highlighting the widespread nature of the crisis. Demonstrators are calling for immediate government action to alleviate the severe food insecurity affecting millions of households.
Reports from various parts of the country indicate that the protests have remained largely peaceful, though there have been isolated incidents of clashes with security forces. In Lagos, protesters marched through key thoroughfares, holding banners and chanting slogans demanding food and justice. In Abuja, the demonstration reached the gates of the National Assembly, where a delegation of activists delivered a petition to lawmakers.
President Tinubu’s anticipated address is expected to outline the government’s plan to tackle the hunger crisis. Sources close to the presidency suggest that Tinubu will propose a multi-faceted approach, including emergency food distribution, price controls on essential commodities, and long-term agricultural reforms.
Observers note that this will be one of Tinubu’s most crucial speeches since taking office, as the nation watches closely to see how the administration will handle the mounting pressure. Many Nigerians are hoping for decisive action to alleviate their plight, while others remain skeptical about the government’s ability to deliver on its promises.
The international community is also paying close attention, with several humanitarian organizations urging swift intervention to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. The United Nations has already offered to assist with relief efforts, highlighting the urgency of addressing the hunger crisis.
As the country awaits President Tinubu’s address, the mood on the streets is a mix of anxiety and anticipation. For many, the speech will represent a critical moment that could shape the future of Nigeria’s fight against hunger and poverty.
