Lagos State people have joined the ranks of several other states across the country in staging protests against the high cost of living.
In the Ibeju-Lekki area of Lagos State, market women and youths took to the streets on Saturday to voice their grievances.
The protesters were displaying placards bearing messages such as “Baba Tinubu, Nigerians are hungry” and “Tinubu, come and rescue us”.
The protesters highlighted the hardships faced by ordinary citizens due to the escalating cost of living.
This demonstration marks the latest in a series of protests held in various states, including Kogi, Osun, Niger, and Kano, all echoing concerns over the relentless rise in commodity prices since the removal of the petrol subsidy in May 2023.
