As of press time, the broadcast's schedule was not yet known, but it may have something to do with the financial difficulties Nigerians are facing as a result of the removal of the fuel subsidy for Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) known as petrol.
There appeared to be no reprieve for Nigerians after President Bola Tinubu, in his debut discourse on May 29, 2023, reported the removal of the petrol subsidy.

The announcement resulted in an increase of N184 to N500 for a liter of gasoline at the pump. Around two months after the fact, the cost hopped from N500 to over N617 on Tuesday, July 18, 2023, inspiring indignation and analysis from financially abandoned residents.
