Addressing journalists after an emergency National Executive Council meeting on the economy and security matters, Ajaero emphasized the urgency due to concerns about the impact of recent reforms, including the removal of the fuel subsidy and currency trading restrictions.

He said the Federal Government should not flout the deadline of the 14-day ultimatum.
