The Minister of Steel Development, Prince Shuaibu Abubakar Audu, has appealed to Nigerians to suspend the nationwide protest against President Bola Tinubu administration.

Audu made the appeal in a statement issued by his Special Assistant on Media, Lizzy Okoji, on Friday in Abuja.

The minister assured Nigerians protesting against rising economic hardship that Tinubu is working assiduously to fix the current challenges in the country.

He highlighted the achievements of the current administration and assured that Nigerians will get all their expectations of good governance before 2027.

Audu reiterated that the government is working tirelessly to revive the country steel plants, nothing that the Tinubu administration is targeting the creation of 500,000 direct and indirect jobs in the sector.

“I want to appeal to my fellow Nigerians to please suspend the nationwide protests against the current administration and let us resort to dialogue to address all our concerns and expectations from the President Tinubu-led administration.

“Mr President has shown countless times his concern for the plight of Nigerians, with the recent implementation of the N70,000 minimum wage for workers, driving the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) initiative with CNG vehicles to cushion the impact of the removal of fuel subsidy which will reduce the cost of transportation by at least 70 per cent.

“Responsive to the challenges of the masses in the face of the ongoing reforms, President Tinubu directed the disbursement of N50,000 uplift grants each to over 100,000 families per state for three months thereby impacting close to 5 million families nationwide.

“My colleague, the Honourable Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, under the direction of Mr President, has assured Nigerians that food prices will crash in 180 days, with strategic measures aimed at addressing the high food prices currently affecting the nation being implemented. 250,000 metric tonnes of wheat and 250,000 metric tonnes of maize are being imported, and these semi-processed commodities will be supplied to small-scale processors and millers across the country.
