The National Association of Government Approved Freight Forwarders (NAGAFF) has warned her over 50,000 members spread across Nigeria, as well as the General public against getting involved either remotely or directly in the impending hardship protest slated for August 1st 2024.

Acknowledging that they have a right to protest as enshrined in our country’s constitution, they should also note that they do not have the right to destabilise the country.

He also stated that the economic recession being experienced today is not peculiar to our country alone.

He warned the Trouble – shooters to positively engage Government in dialogue instead of resorting to the unconventional means of agitation that is guided by their inordinate ambitions, especially those of their sponsors.

He also warned those making unguided statements to desist from doing so, as such words have the potency of further polarising our country.

He also advised Mr President to quickly put measures in place to mitigate the sufferings currently being experienced in the country.

He advocated for a drastic reduction in the cost of governance especially the affluent lifestyle of public servants & Political appointees.

Government should also increase her premium on Education & Security across the country. Farmers need to win over the confidence of govt so that they can return to their farms.

Speaking further He said “Government on the interim should also consider reopening the land borders for massive food importation to crash the skyrocketing prices of food items”

They should also ensure the drastic reduction in the prices of Petroleum products.
