Despite the ongoing #EndBadGovernance protests across Nigeria, economic activities are gradually resuming in some parts of the country. However, demonstrations continue in cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt, and Benin City, where protesters demand improved economic conditions.
The first day of the protests was largely peaceful, but violence, killings, and looting were reported in states like Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, and Borno, leading to curfews being imposed.
Security agencies are on high alert, with the Inspector General of Police placing officers on red alert to maintain public safety and order.
The police have reported attacks on personnel and property, resulting in injuries and fatalities.
Organizers of the protests have planned a 10-day demonstration, but authorities are urging them to reconsider.
The government has taken measures to address the protesters’ demands, including the introduction of a new minimum wage and distribution of palliatives.
The situation remains dynamic, with protesters and authorities engaging in a delicate balance of demands and responses.
