MINISTER OF STATE PETROLEUM RESOURCES APPEALS FOR CALM AMID PROPOSED NATIONWIDE PROTEST.

The Minister of State for Petroleum Resources Senator Heineken Lokpobiri has called  on Nigerians, especially the youth in the Niger Delta, to remain calm and avoid participating in the proposed nationwide protest.

The Minister stated reassured that,
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is dedicated to revitalizing the economy and bringing renewed hope through well-thought-out policies and programs.
“We understand the frustrations and challenges faced by many Nigerians, but it is essential to approach these issues constructively,” Senator Lokpobiri stated. “
