Nigerians on social media are calling for nationwide protests against rising inflation and the high cost of living. The economic crisis, exacerbated last year when President Bola Tinubu canceled a popular fuel subsidy and took steps that devalued the naira, has hurt millions of Nigerians.
On Tuesday, the national assembly voted to approve an increment in the monthly minimum wage of federal workers. The measure, still to be approved by Tinubu, has done little to dampen the calls for demonstrations.
Nigerian officials are hoping that plans for a nationwide August 1 protest over the country's soaring living costs will be jettisoned. The Nigeria Governors Forum has addressed growing security concerns, particularly the mounting threat of nationwide protests against 'bad governance' in the country.
