Protest Breaks Out In Ibadan Over High Cost Of Living


In Oyo State, angered by the soaring cost of living, food inflation, and the prevailing economic challenges, local youths have taken to the streets in protest. Their chants echoed through the air as they voiced their grievances.

The demonstrators clarified their frustrations by carrying placards bearing messages such as ‘End Food Hike and Inflation’, ‘The Poor Are Starving’, and ‘Tinubu, Don’t Forget Your Promises’.

Despite the peaceful nature of the rally, armed policemen were present at the protest site, a precautionary measure in light of the recent warnings from law enforcement regarding maintaining peace during such demonstrations.

The protests in Ibadan follow similar demonstrations in other parts of the country, including Kano and Minna. These rallies highlight the widespread frustration caused by factors such as the removal of petrol subsidies and the unification of foreign exchange rates, which have contributed to food price inflation and a surge in the cost of living.
