The planned nationwide protest over bad governance and economic hardship, slated for August is gaining momentum in the nation.
The protest will occur across all states and in Abuja, the capital.
Recent increases in food and basic commodity prices have exacerbated Nigeria’s inflation and economic woes. This crisis follows the government’s removal of petrol subsidies and the adjustment of foreign exchange rates.
In response, Nigerians are preparing to protest in large numbers to voice their discontent.
Protesters have outlined their demands, vowing to persist until significant changes are enacted. They have emphasized that any harm to protesters will escalate their demands to the resignation of Tinubu and his cabinet.
The protesters’ demands include:
