Protest In Ibadan Over High Cost Of Living And Economic Hardship

Some really angry residents of Oyo state, South-West Nigeria, have taken to the streets on Monday to protest the high cost of living, food inflation and the current economic hardship being experienced in the country.

The protest was staged in the Mokola area of Ibadan, the state capital, with the youths carrying various placards and chanting songs to express their pain and displeasure.

The placards’ inscriptions read, ‘End food hike and inflation’, ‘The poor are starving’, ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, amongst others.

The protest is coming barely a week after Nigerians in other states like Kano, and Minna protested over economic hardship occasioned by petrol subsidy removal, food inflation, and high cost of living.

Armed police officers were also seen at the protest venue even as demonstrators held the peaceful rally.
