Protest Hits Ibadan Over High Cost of Living

February 19, 2024 • 1 min read

Angry youths in Oyo State are protesting the high cost of living, inflation and the current economic hardship in the country.

Placard-carrying youths participated in the protest, holding in the Mokola area of Ibadan, the state capital on Monday.

Some of the placards have inscriptions such as ‘End food price hike and inflation’, ‘The poor is starving’ and ‘Tinubu, don’t forget your promises’, amongst others.

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

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

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