Nigeria’s Minister of Information and National Orientation, Dele Alake, calls on residents in Abuja’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT) to remain calm after an earth tremor. In statements reported by Premium Times and The Punch, Alake advises people to go about their normal routines without anxiety.
Both outlets report that Alake directs relevant government agencies to provide ongoing information about seismic activity. The Punch adds that the minister orders the agencies to issue hourly updates to keep the public informed and support safety monitoring.
The reports do not detail the cause of the tremor, casualty figures, or specific damage. Instead, they focus on the government’s immediate public communication response—urging calm and increasing the frequency of official updates as more information becomes available.
