A number of Nigerian civil societies had scheduled Wednesday June 12 for a mass protest against hardship and acute hunger under the President Bola Tinubu-led government in Nigeria.
The groups are; the Take-It-Back Movement (TIB), the African Action Congress party (AAC), the Joint Action Front (JAF), the Education Rights Campaign (ERC), the Socialist Workers and the Youth League (SWL) and PRP Vanguard.
It was reported on Tuesday that the organisations made this known in a statement they jointly issued and captioned, “Enough is Enough to Hardship and Hunger Great Nigerian People.”
According to the organisations, since May 29, 2023, when President Tinubu removed fuel subsidy, Nigerians have been plunged into greater hardship and hunger as prices of fuel, food, transport, electricity, school fees and other basic amenities have skyrocketed beyond what average Nigerians can afford.
