The Minority Caucus of the House of Representatives has urged the Federal Government to engage in talks with the protesters.

The protest tagged ‘EndBadGovernance’ has gained traction on social media and has been scheduled to be held across all states of the Federation as well as the Federal Capital Territory in August.

Worried by the implications on the economy, the lawmakers want President BOLA TINUBU’s administration to address the concerns of the protesters.

Briefing newsmen in Abuja, the Chairman of the Caucus, Honourable KINGSLEY CHINDA, however, discouraged the planned protest, especially against the background of insecurity in parts of the country.

The Caucus also called on the government to create means to ensure citizens are self-reliant in a bid to tackle the economic downturn in the country.
