Message Passed - End Bad Governance Protests

from The Discourse · host j-Lake

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.
