The United Action Front of the Civil Society (UAFCS) has asked the President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government to initiate urgent dialogue with protest leaders to prevent another round of costly mass action slated for Tuesday.
SaharaReporters had reported how concerned Nigerians and organisations started mobilising for the citizens to join nationwide protests tagged as #FearlessInOctober to express their displeasure over growing economic hardships in the country.
“Consequently, we as leaders of the organised civil society are obliged at this crucial stage to offer to help in facilitating a strategic dialogue between government and leaders of the citizens action soonest if it's acceptable to those concerned, especially the authorities in Nigeria.
“Similarly, we wish to counsel the government to learn to involve credible leaders of the organised civil society and leaders of citizens action in its implementation of some of the demands of the nationwide protests for veritable awareness of the Nigerian public and optimum results.
“We are therefore using this medium to put the media, our key partner in this historic civil society intervention on the alert.”..
