The Ijaw Youth Council, IYC, has directed youths in the region to join the nationwide protest against bad governance billed to commence on 1st August 2024. The council also urged security agents to be cautious in their approach and not to be overzealous and brutal while monitoring the protest to maintain law and order.
DAILY POST reports that frustrated Nigerians have scheduled the one-week protest tagged “one week of rage' to protest against the hardship in the land. However, the federal government has rallied traditional rulers, and religious leaders, to persuade the youths against joining the protest.
“The hardship faced by the people of the Niger Delta particularly those at the hinterlands is becoming unbearable as a litre of fuel now sells for over N2,000; one pure water sells for N100 and other essential commodities have gone beyond the reach of the people. “Sudden death has become a common occurrence in the rural area due to hunger and untold suffering.
