The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, has said President Bola Tinubu is ready for dialogue, as the nationwide protest began on Thursday.
Wike met with Tinubu at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on the same day.
There were massive demonstrations in the FCT, with security officials having to fire tear gas to disperse protesters.
Wike has now said the Federal Government is open to having a dialogue with the protesters.
He stated this while handing over the Staff of the Office to four newly coronated Chiefs of Karu, Kwali, Pai, and Yaba.
“I want you to continue with that peace process, because he who makes peace will, at the end of the day, enjoy the dividends of peace.
“I want to commend you and urge you to still talk to our people, that we are still ready to talk to them, have a dialogue with them and iron out the grey areas.
“We’ll also brief them on certain things they do not know so that they will be well informed to make informed decisions,” Wike said.
