CITIZENS COMPASS- PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari is set to make a national broadcast to Nigerians on Thursday, February 16, 2023.
This was announced in a statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
The address by President Buhari is coming on the heels of widespread protest over the scarcity of the Naira.
The statement by Adesina, late on Wednesday, said President Buhari will address the nation on Thursday at 7am
Adesina said Television, radio stations and other electronic media outlets are enjoined to hook up to the network services of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) and Radio Nigeria for the broadcast.
It was learnt that that President Buhari’s address to the nation might not be unconnected to the chaos occasioned by the Naira swap policy of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
