Shelve planned protest for sake of economy, Kalu tells youths

Chairman, Senate Committee on Privatisation, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu has called on the youths to shelve plans to hold a national protest, saying such action will affect the economy immensely

He said though it is within the rights of every Nigeria to protest, embarking on such exercise now will have huge effects on the country.

Kalu, a former governor of Abia state and immediate past Chief Whip of the Senate said “while   embarking on national protest may be beneficial to our democracy, it is not expedient to our economy. I am appealing to our youths to consider suspending the planned August protest to save possible damages and liabilities on the country’s infrastructure and private businesses”.
