CSOs PROTEST OVER HARDSHIP IN THE COUNTRY

Members of Civil Society Organisations have poured into the streets in Edo and Osun states over the economic hardship in the country.

Inflation has reached 29 percent in Nigeria and with the subsidy on fuel removed, the cost of living has spiked in recent months. This has triggered debates and protests in some parts of Nigeria.

To register their grievances over the economic hardship induced by these, the CSOs stormed the streets in Benin City and Osogbo, the capital cities of Edo and Osun states respectively.

Edo civil society organization members are out on a peaceful protest, seeking an end to the suffering and hunger in Nigeria.

In Benin City, the protesters marched from Kings Square to Akpakpava Road and carried placards with diverse inscriptions such as “End Economic Hardship” and “FG End the Hunger in Nigeria Now,” to drum home their points.

It was a similar situation in Osogbo where the protesters converged at Nelson Mandela Park in the capital city. They are calling on the Federal Government to “End the High of Living”.
