Nigerians Plan Nationwide Protest to End Bad Governance on July 29th
On July 29th, 2024, Nigerians are set to take to the streets in a nationwide protest against bad governance, economic hardship, and soaring inflation. The protest, dubbed “End Bad Governance in Nigeria 2024,” aims to address the country’s governance challenges and demand a better future for its citizens.
The protest comes in the wake of recent strikes by government workers and labor unions, who have been protesting the government’s failure to deliver on promises of financial relief and improved living conditions. Inflation has skyrocketed to nearly 30%, the highest in nearly three decades, and the removal of fuel subsidies has led to a sharp increase in petrol prices.
President Bola Tinubu’s administration has faced criticism for its controversial policies, including the removal of fuel subsidies and the unification of the country’s multiple exchange rates, which have contributed to the economic crisis. The government has also been accused of failing to provide promised financial aid to vulnerable households and failing to improve the country’s electricity supply.
The protest is being supported by various groups, including the Take it Back Movement and Revolution Now. The organizers have called for a peaceful demonstration and have urged the Nigeria Police to protect the protesters and ensure their safety.
The protest is scheduled to take place on July 29th, with the “Day of Rage” being the main event. The organizers have also planned additional protests from August 1st to August 10th.
The protest is a response to the growing frustration among Nigerians, who are fed up with the current state of affairs. They are demanding an end to bad governance, economic hardship, and corruption. The organizers have urged Nigerians to come out in large numbers and make their voices heard.
As the protest date approaches, Nigerians are preparing to take to the streets to demand a better future for themselves and their country. The government will be under pressure to address the protesters’ demands and take action to improve the lives of its citizens.
