Former Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission(NCC), Professor Adeolu Akande, has called on Nigerians to give peace a chance and abort the planned protests scheduled for August 1 to 10th this year.
In a statement personally signed by him and released in Abuja, Professor Akande said the country would gain nothing in the destruction of property that would characterize a protest and worsen the economic situation in the country.
Professor Akande noted that the government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has proved to be a listening government with the many actions it has taken to address the economic situation in the country and matters affecting the youth.

Akande, who is a professor of Political Science noted that violence has never solved any problem in any part of the world. He counselled that the Tinubu government has taken many actions and embarked on initiatives to prove that it listens to the yearnings of the people and deserves to be given the opportunity to execute the policies designed to address the demands of the people and take the country out of its economic crisis.
