Ongoing #EndBadGovernanceinNigeria Protests Cause Major Disruptions Nationwide
The ongoing protests in Nigeria, tagged #EndBadGovernanceinNigeria, have sparked significant disruptions across various cities. Despite efforts by authorities to halt the demonstrations, protesters have persisted, citing grievances such as economic hardship due to inflation and currency devaluation.
The movement, initiated by youth activists, echoes previous protests against governmental policies and calls for better governance amid widespread economic challenges.
The police in Abuja have used tear gas to disperse #endbadgovernance protesters who were attempting to enter Eagles Square.
The protesters ignored an order by the Federal Capital Territory, which restricted their protest to the MKO Stadium.
This order was issued by Justice Sylvanus Oriji on Wednesday in response to an ex-parte application filed by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
