The protesters have demonstrated in various cities, including Abuja, Lagos, Rivers, and Kano, to express their discontent over economic reforms that have led to rampant inflation and increased hardship for ordinary Nigerians.
President Bola Tinubu has committed to pursuing these reforms, asserting they are necessary to sustain the country.
