Some Nigerians in Oyo State, South-West Nigeria are currently protesting the high cost of living, food inflation and economic hardship in the country. 


Recall that Nigerians have continued to face various degrees of economics hardships since President Bola Tinubu announced the removal of petrol subsidy on May 29, 2023.


Staged in the Mokola area of Ibadan, the state capital, placard-carrying youths in their numbers chanting songs to drive home their points.


Some of the placards have inscriptions such as ‘No more Emilokan’, ‘End food hike and inflation’, ‘The poor is starving’, ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, amongst others.


Armed policemen were seen at the protest scene even as demonstrators held the peaceful rally against the economic hardship in the land occasioned by the removal of petrol subsidy and the unification of the foreign exchange windows.


The police had warned that no breach of peace would be allowed during any protest in the state.


The protest in Oyo followed others in Kano, Minna, amongst others, over economic hardship occasioned by petrol subsidy removal, food inflation, and high cost of living.
