President Bola Ahmed Tinubu met with Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), on Thursday, August 1, amid the current nationwide #EndBadGovernance protest. At around 4 p.m., Wike, wearing a white suit, arrived at the State House in Abuja in a Prado SUV to meet with President Tinubu. Wike’s visit coincides with current protests in the nation’s capital, however the precise reason for his visit was not made public.
There were protests throughout the FCT in a few locations, such as the Central Area, especially near Eagle Square, when demonstrators disregarded security officials’ orders to leave. Protests in the FCT were limited to the Moshood Abiola Stadium by a court order. As most businesses are closed and fewer cars are on the road, the #EndBadGovernance protest has halted social and economic activity in some areas of the FCT’s Wuse 2.
