Idris made the revelation in a Wednesday midday post on X, using the hashtag #HMMohammedIdris. He also posted a two-minute, 52-second video on his page.

It read, “The Federal Government is making bold decisions to yield long-term solutions for Nigeria’s persistent economic challenges, especially to cushion the effects of subsidy removal.

According to Bizwatch Nigeria, a large demonstration broke out across Nigeria on Thursday, August 1, fueled by public dissatisfaction with existing economic and social conditions. Demonstrators across the country expressed their dissatisfaction, demanding reforms and greater responsibility.
Earlier, President Bola Tinubu encouraged citizens to be patient with his programs and not let hoodlums take advantage of the turmoil. The protest emphasized the need for peaceful and constructive discourse, as well as a desire for change.
Three days later, Tinubu addressed the nation, encouraging calm in areas where protests had turned violent and looted. He vowed to take serious action against those responsible for the unrest and highlighted his administration’s achievements since entering office.
