President Muhammadu Buhari will, on Thursday, address the nation.
The president’s address comes amid protests and outbreak of violence over the scarcity of naira notes across the country.
The protests have led to attacks on banks and gridlock on major roads, while some persons are feared to have been killed.
The president’s address also comes amid a hike in the price of petrol, which has been followed by queues at filling stations.
In a statement on Wednesday night, Femi Adesina, presidential spokesperson, said the address will begin at 7am.
“President Muhammadu Buhari will make a national broadcast on Thursday, February 16, 2023 at 7 am,” the statement reads.
“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.
