Protest in Niger Against Tinubu’s Government Over Rising Food Prices.

There were irate protesters earlier today,  in Minna, remonstrating against President Bola Tinubu’s harsh economic measures that have worsened living standards.

Hordes of protesters blocked major roads in Minna, lamenting the high cost of living.

Food prices have spiked in the last six months, but Mr Tinubu urged understanding.

You would recall the president disclosed in December and quote “The financial re-engineering of our country is ongoing. We are determined to deliver Nigeria safely through the tunnel of hope, stability, and economic prosperity,” End quote.

The president also  added, “Nigeria is in good hands. The team is working, and we will work hard to give you the best economy and the best opportunities that you can imagine.”

However, Nigeria’s economy deteriorated following the sudden removal of the petrol subsidy on May 29, 2023, forcing a skyrocket of pump price from less than N200 to almost N600.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar on Sunday accused Mr Tinubu of dashing the hopes of millions of Nigerians with his vile, chaotic economic policies
