In a bold move, protesters affiliated with the #EndBadGovernance movement have blocked Kaduna Road, a critical highway connecting Kaduna to Abuja, according to Premium Times. This demonstration comes just three days before the scheduled 10-day nationwide protest, which aims to address Nigeria’s economic challenges.
The protesters, armed with placards bearing powerful messages such as “We Are Not Slaves,” “Enough is Enough,” and “Hardship Is Unbearable,” expressed their discontent with the current state of affairs. They chanted anti-government slogans, indicating their unwillingness to wait for the planned protest on Thursday.
The organizers of the nationwide protests are demanding improvements in the cost of living and a reversal of certain government policies, particularly the removal of petrol subsidies. This grassroots movement seeks to bring attention to the struggles faced by everyday Nigerians and push for meaningful change.
