Protests against the economic policies of the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led administration entered their second day today, August 2, 2024, as citizens across the country continue to demand action to address the worsening economic crisis.
The ten-day protest, which began yesterday, aims to draw attention to the economic hardship faced by Nigerians, including rising prices, unemployment, and poverty.
According to reports, the first day of the protest was marked by violence, looting, and vandalism in several northern states, resulting in the declaration of 24-hour curfews in Kano, Yobe, and Borno states.
The protests in southern states were largely peaceful, with demonstrators marching through streets and calling for change.
Despite the challenges, protesters remain determined to continue their demonstrations, which are expected to continue until August 10th.
The protests have sparked a national conversation about the country’s economic direction and the need for urgent reforms.
