FOCUS NIGERIA: Nation wide Protest. (Part2)
Nigerians are planning a Nation wide protest against bad government of the ruling party APC and it's President Bola Tinubu.
By Hugo Keji
To calm Nigerians and protest organizers, the government can take several immediate and strategic actions to address the underlying issues and demonstrate a commitment to positive change:
Immediate Actions:
Engage in Dialogue:
Initiate Open Discussions: The government should openly invite protest leaders and civil society groups for discussions to understand their grievances and seek mutually agreeable solutions (TheCable).
Create a Dialogue Platform: Establish a dedicated platform or committee to facilitate continuous dialogue between the government, protest organizers, and various stakeholders.
Address Key Demands:
Economic Relief Measures: Implement immediate relief measures to address the high cost of living, such as subsidies or temporary price controls on essential goods and services (allAfrica.com) (Punch Newspapers).
Transparency and Accountability: Publicly disclose and reduce the salaries and allowances of lawmakers, and take steps to curb corruption through transparent government practices (allAfrica.com).
Ensure Security and Protection:
Peaceful Protests: Guarantee the right to peaceful assembly and protest, ensuring that security forces are trained to handle protests without resorting to violence (Punch Newspapers).
Community Policing: Engage community leaders and stakeholders to maintain peace and order during protests, preventing escalation into violence (Daily Post Nigeria).
Strategic Actions:
Economic Reforms:
Subsidy Reassessment: Review and possibly reinstate critical subsidies, such as those on fuel and electricity, to alleviate immediate financial burdens on citizens (TheCable) (allAfrica.com).
Inflation Control: Implement policies aimed at controlling inflation and stabilizing the economy, such as monetary policy adjustments and support for local production (allAfrica.com).
Institutional Reforms:
Electoral Transparency: Reform the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure its independence and transparency, addressing concerns over electoral processes (allAfrica.com).
Judicial Reforms: Strengthen the judiciary to enhance accountability and ensure justice for all, particularly in cases involving corruption and abuse of power.
Public Communication:
Regular Updates: Provide regular updates on government actions and progress through transparent communication channels, fostering trust and accountability (Punch Newspapers).
Public Engagement: Use media and public forums to engage with citizens, listen to their concerns, and explain the government's plans and policies clearly.
Social Programs:
Education and Employment: Invest in education and job creation programs to provide long-term solutions to unemployment and underemployment, addressing one of the root causes of discontent (Daily Post Nigeria).
Social Safety Nets: Expand social safety net programs to support the most vulnerable populations, ensuring that basic needs are met during times of economic hardship (TheCable).
By taking these steps, the government can demonstrate its commitment to addressing the concerns of its citizens, potentially calming tensions and preventing the escalation of protests into violence.
