UPDATED: Ibadan protesters demand end to hunger, insecurity

Hundreds on Monday staged a peaceful protest in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital over economic hardship across the nation.

They urged President Bola Tinubu to address insecurity, hunger and rising costs of living in the country. 

The protesters, who are mostly youths, said they were fed up with the current situation, demanding solutions from the government. 

They held placards with various inscriptions such as “Tinubu must address insecurity”; â€œHunger is klling us”and “We are fed up” among others.

The protesters also expressed concerns about the high cost of living, which they say is making it difficult to afford basic necessities. 

They said food prices have also skyrocketed, making it difficult for many Nigerians to feed their families. 

The protesters hoped their demonstration will draw the attention of Tinubu and the government to these pressing issues.

They also called on the government to do more to alleviate the suffering of the people and to improve the country’s economy.
