    Message Passed - End Bad Governance Protests

    Thousands took to the streets in Nigerian cities in anti-government protests against the high cost of living in the country, driven by crippling inflation and a devalued currency. The demonstration resulted in the Police using tear gas to disperse crowds in the apital, Abuja, and in the nation’s second largest city, Kano, and other cities. Many Nigerians blame the cost-of-living crisis on reforms introduced last year by President Bola Tinubu, who canceled a popular fuel subsidy and took steps that devalued the naira. Ene Obi speaks on the protests.

    Why the #ENDBADGOVERNANCE in Nigeria Protest Must Hold

    In a bold push for transformative change, Nigerian youth are gearing up for a nationwide peaceful protest from August 1 to 10, 2024, demanding a more equitable society with effective leadership, affordable food, zero hunger, and a reduced cost of living. The movement, undeterred by warnings and opposing views from certain political quarters, aims to bring attention to the pressing issues plaguing the nation. However, the government of the day has been given reasons why the protest should not hold. On the other hand, these youth are insisting to hit the streets for a change. Follow the discussion with Adenola Michael and Opatola Victor.
