Despite the government’s pleadings, some youths have taken to the streets of Niger State to protest Nigeria’s economic hardship.
It was reported protestors rushed the streets on Monday, chanting anti-government songs.
They carried signs reading ‘Enough is Enough’; ‘Stop Anti-Masses Policies’; ‘We Are Not Slaves In Our Country’; ‘Hardship Is Unbearable’, ‘Fuel Subsidy Must Be Back’, among others.

Recall that last week, Governor Mohammed Bago wooed Niger residents with welfare items in an attempt to avoid the protest.

He had proposed a N20,000 wage increase for state and local government civil officials, as well as the immediate release of 50,000 metric tonnes of varied grains to be sold at reduced prices to alleviate the current economic hardship.
