Thousands of Nigerians have taken to the streets across the country in a series of protests demanding an end to what they describe as “bad governance.” The demonstrations, which began early Thursday morning, have seen protesters blocking major roads, chanting anti-government slogans, and calling for immediate action to address the nation’s economic crisis. The protests, organized by a coalition of civil society groups, have been fueled by soaring inflation, rising unemployment, and a general sense of disillusionment with the government. Protesters are demanding reforms in areas such as education, healthcare, and security, as well as an end to corruption.
In the capital, Abuja, demonstrators converged on the National Assembly, calling on lawmakers to address the people’s concerns. Similar protests have erupted in Lagos, Kano, Ibadan, and other major cities. Security forces have been deployed to monitor the protests, with reports of clashes between protesters and police in some areas. There have been calls for calm from both the government and protest organizers as the situation remains tense.
