Youths took to the streets of Osogbo, the capital of Osun State, on Tuesday to express their frustrations regarding the country’s economic difficulties. The demonstrators, armed with placards bearing various messages, called on President Bola Tinubu to reinstate the fuel subsidy, arguing that this measure is essential to alleviate the rising cost of living, particularly the significant increase in food prices
Beginning their march at Nelson Mandela Freedom Park, Old Garage, the protesters made their way through key areas of the city, including Oke-Fia, Dada Estate, and Dele Yes Sir, progressing along Oba Adesoji Aderemi Way toward Ogo-Oluwa, and concluding at the Olaiya flyover junction. Throughout the procession, participants chanted solidarity songs to emphasize their demands, while security personnel ensured the maintenance of peace and order.
This October 1 protest, branded #FearlessInOctober, serves as an extension of the #EndBadGovernance demonstrations that took place from August 1 to 10, fueled by the widespread economic hardships impacting many Nigerians.
