His Special Adviser on Special Duties, Communication and Strategy, Dele Alake, disclosed this in a statement.
The statement enjoined all broadcast and other electronic media outlets to link up with the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Radio Nigeria for coverage.
“President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will make a broadcast to the nation on Monday, July 31, 2023 at 7 pm.
“Television, radio stations and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority and Radio Nigeria for the broadcast,” the statement reads.
President Tinubu’s broadcast to the nation is coming at a time when the Organised Labour is threatening to embark on nationwide industrial action over harsh conditions trailing the removal of fuel subsidy.
The President recently called out to workers as well as citizens to give him more time to deal with the array of issues facing the country, including those having to do with the economy.
On July 26, the NLC gave the Nigerian government seven days to reverse the fuel price and other demands to avert a strike.
Efforts by the government and labour to reach a truce through meetings failed.
The government, however, said on Friday, July 28, that labour’s insistence on the strike was a contempt of court.
However, the NLC is insisting on strike.
In a letter addressed to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice/Solicitor-General of the Federation, titled ‘Re-NLC in contempt of court’, signed by its lawyer, Sam Ogala, the labour union said no court had ruled against its planned protest, adding that it was within the constitutional right of the workers to embark on peaceful protests.
“You will agree with us that the National Industrial Court or any other court has not granted an order of interim, interlocutory or perpetual injunction restraining Nigerian workers from participating in peaceful rallies convened by the Nigeria Labour Congress.
“Since the constitutional right of Nigerian workers to protest peacefully cannot by any stretch of imagination be classified as an industrial action or strike of any nature, you ought not to have threatened our client with contempt of court,” parts of the letter read.
Recall that the NLC has never gone on a major strike in the past eight years, covering the eight years of former President Muhammadu Buhari.
