Some youths have taken to the streets of Niger state to protest the pervasive economic hardship and spiralling inflation in Nigeria.
The protest was reportedly billed to commence on August 1 nationwide.
However, on Monday, some youths in Niger trooped out with placards bearing inscriptions like ‘Fuel subsidy must be back’, ‘Enough is enough’, ‘Stop anti-masses policies’, ‘We are not slaves in our country’, ‘Hardship is unbearable’.
