President Bola Tinubu has finally addressed over 200 million Nigerians on Sunday after three consecutive days of #EndBadGovernance protests against economic hardship and high living costs that have reverberated across the country’s 36 states and the nation’s capital Abuja.

Prices of food and basic commodities have gone through the roof in the last months, as Nigerians battle one of the country’s worst inflation rates and economic crises sparked by the government’s twin policies of petrol subsidy removal and unification of forex windows.

Propagated on social media, the #EndBadGovernance protests against economic hardship planned for 10 days entered its fourth day on Sunday as resilient youths pushed on, insisting that Tinubu meets their demands.

Some of the protesters’ demands include the restoration of petrol subsidies and the forex regime. They also want the government to address food shortages, unemployment, and the wasteful spending of those in power.

Other demands are a reduction of the President’s cabinet and general cost of governance, immediate reforms of the electoral umpire INEC and anti-graft agency EFCC with renewed vigour in the fight against corrupt politicians.

The Lagos State Government has issued a fresh warning to residents living in low-lying areas across Lekki, Ikorodu, and Ajegunle to relocate immediately to higher ground, as more flooding is expected due to intensified rainfall this season.

The State’s Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, gave the order during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Tuesday.

The warning comes after parts of the state were severely flooded on Monday following marathon rainfall that began Sunday night and continued through the next day. Viral videos

He advised the affected communities to act now to avoid avoidable disasters as the rains intensify.

“Those around the Ajilete axis of Lagos, that’s Ajegunle, have to move,” Wahab said. “Those around the coastline of Ikorodu; Majidun, have to move. Some areas around the Lekki corridor too — not all.”

Wahab specifically mentioned Isheri in the OPIC area as another flood-prone location where residents should be on high alert.

He reassured residents in other parts of Lagos such as Epe, Mushin, and Ikeja, which he described as generally safe.

Farauta, who said the state government had done much on its own to help the victims of the flood, thanked Remi Tinubu for intervening.
