President Bola Tinubu has postponed this week’s Federal Executive Council meeting to an undisclosed date, opting instead for an urgent meeting with key security officials. The rescheduled session will include the vice president, national security adviser, service chiefs, inspector general of police, and the comptroller generals of customs and immigration, as well as the chief of staff to the president.
Sources suggest that the rescheduling is linked to the ongoing nationwide protests against hunger and hardship. The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria demonstrations, now in their fifth day, have seen widespread participation across major cities such as Lagos, Abuja, Kaduna, and Kano.
On Sunday, President Tinubu appealed for dialogue and an end to the protests, expressing a willingness to address the concerns raised by the demonstrators. Despite his call for calm, protests have continued, underscoring the need for a comprehensive security strategy to manage the unrest.
