Lagos State residents storm the streets on Monday to protest against the high level of hardship in the country.

Nigerian Newssphere gathered that the ongoing protest was facilitated by a human rights group identified as the ‘Take It Back Movement’.

The protesters were seen carrying placards with various inscriptions that expressed their grievances at the Ojuelegba Under Bridge area of the state.

This is coming hours to the planned mass protest scheduled for February 27 and 28 by the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC.

Newssphere recalls that there was a similar protest in Niger, Kogi, and Oyo states over rising hardship.

According to the National Bureau, Nigeria’s food inflation increased to 35.42 per cent in January 2024.
