Nigerians have begun a “warm up” protest in Kano State over the hike of petrol price from N195 to N617, naira devaluation, school fees increment and other anti-poor policies of the President Bola Tinubu-led Nigerian government.

Photographs of the protest obtained by SaharaReporters on Tuesday confirmed that the t Action Front (JAF) coordinated the demonstration.

SaharaReporters had reported on Monday that JAF alongside the Alliance for Surviving COVID-19 and Beyond (ASCAB) and Coalition for Revolution (CORE) declared their total for the August 2 Nigeria Labour Congress nationwide action.

The civic organisations in a t declaration, signed by Femi Falana (ASCAB), Baba Ayelabola (CORE), and Achike Chude (JAF) after a meeting on Sunday, which was made available to SaharaReporters on Monday, had said they would in the protest until victory was achieved.

Titled: "August 2nd, 2023 as the beginning of nationwide resistance against fuel price hike and anti-poor policies is sacrosanct," the civic organisations had said that the minimum aim of the forthcoming struggle is the reversal of the "criminal hike of petrol from N617 to N195, reversal of other criminal policies like fee hike in public tertiary institutions, devaluation of the naira" which they noted had made life unbearable on Nigerian masses.

"We the decision of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to call Nigerian workers and poor masses out on protest starting from Wednesday, August 2, 2023, against the wicked and neoliberal policies of the President Tinubu government, including, the severe hike in the price of petrol and devaluation of the naira."

The organisations tasked the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) with unity in their engagement with the Federal Government and encourage them to tly mobilise for mass action.

tinubu youve been a bad boy.

These overzealous NNPP thugs are at it again.
“Wonders shall never end, like Pasuma I wonderrr...”

I diss them with “Awodi” by Asake. Great jam!

Even Kano just like 0yo with all their big IGR/FDI..

Renewed Shege is here to expose all the fake stats

Subsidy is gone for good and will NEVER come back.

Measures that'll cushion the effect is already on the way.

This scanty protest isn't a necessity.

I told people to relax, the hardship will bite in other regions harder.

You think you were doing me?

Looks like the JAF, ASCAB, and CORE have teamed up to protest against the hardships caused by the Tinubu government's policies. They're determined to fight for fairer fuel prices and an end to anti-poor measures. Let's see how their mass action unfolds! 🚀🗣️✊

Conspiracy everywhere 🤔

Hmm

E never finish oh

This just the beginning

Please check my signature 👇

Let's allow these guys to protest alone, before they will accuse us of destroying Kano.

No, they are having a street party.

Stop insulting suffering masses.

We never even reach genesis

Lol All this one na play until I see something massive like the last Subsidy Protest...


People not up to 100 gathering na still play...

This one no be protest na. This is just dress rehearsal. By the time the real hunger induced protests start, even a combination of police, civil defense and military won't contain it.

Make Tinubu just dey zuzu, his eyes go soon clear!

Tinubu has no plan for Nigeria

Useless Tulumbu
Person wey him brain don turn to kunu , na him Inec carry give us

Kano Gida


I wonder why all the state with big IGR like Ogun, Osun and now Kano are doing protest due to hard life they experience in less than two months of fuel subsidy removal why the less IGR states like Akwa Ibom, Anambra, Plateau etc are not doing any protest.
Does it mean that the governors of those big IGR are pocketing the IGR and leaving the masses in penury why the less IGR states government officials are allowing the little IGR to go round to the masses which has made them not to be protesting?


You can't over tax the people in bid to claim big IGR and leave them with nothing.

Shege promax hitting them hard. I man sat down on the mountain, watching Babylon burning red hot.

It is because the state with the so called big IGR you mentioned are not used to suffering hence the protests while the states with small IGR you mentioned are already used to suffering.
