A group, the Independent Media and Policy Initiative (IMPI) has counseled those behind the planned nationwide protest to shun the action and embrace dialogue.
Recall, there are threat of planned nationwide protest scheduled to begin in August.
According to IMPI, those who want to protest have the right to protest, saying it must be done in the appropriate context.
The chairman of the Independent Media and Policy Initiative (IMPI), Chief Niyi Akinsiju made this known on Tuesday while briefing newsmen in Abuja.
He emphasised that a protest should be anchored on substantive rationale that are achievable.
“Based on this, we appeal for patience so as not to disrupt gathering momentum being built in the nation’s economic sphere that may be counterproductive” Akinsiju said.
He explained that the policies of the federal government have begun to show initial capacity to redress the challenges they were conceived to address.
“We note the impressive reduction in the national debt profile, which had fallen in dollar term from 108 billion to 91 billion” he said.
He added that the wasteful regime of fuel subsidy contributed in no small measure to huge debt accumulated over the years.
Commenting on food security, Akinsiju stated that the Tinubu’s intervention in agriculture has generated a total of N309billion into the economy in one year.
He said “on aggregate, the recent waiver of import duties and tax on food importation will make food abundantly available and affordable locally”.
Akinsiju also called on state governors and local government administrators, to utilize the financial opportunity presented by the tremendous increase in their various allocations from FAAC, to support efforts of the federal government towards massive food production.
