A few Nigerians in Ibadan, Oyo State, are currently staging protests against President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s high cost of living, food inflation, and economic hardship.
Remember that since President Tinubu said on May 29, 2023, that the petroleum subsidy would no longer be provided, Nigerians have continued to experience varying degrees of financial hardship.
Several youngsters carrying placards and chanting songs to emphasize their ideas were part of the Mokola neighborhood of Ibadan protest.
Among the statements on some of the posters are “No more Emilokan,” “End food hike and inflation,” “The poor are starving,” and “Tinubu, don’t forget your promises.”

Even as protesters staged a nonviolent rally against the nation’s economic suffering brought on by the elimination of gas subsidies and the unification of foreign exchange windows, armed police officers were visible at the scene.
No disruption of the peace would be permitted during any protest in the state, the police had warned.
The Oyo demonstration followed those in Kano and Minna, among other places, against the poverty caused by eliminating fuel subsidies, food inflation, and exorbitant living expenses.
