Today, beneath the iconic Ojuelegba bridge, a significant number of Lagosians have gathered to express their frustrations regarding the current economic challenges gripping the city. Among the protesters are men and women from diverse backgrounds, all united in highlighting the soaring cost of living, rising unemployment rates, and the pervasive hardship faced by ordinary citizens.
The atmosphere beneath the bridge crackles with emotion as chants of “enough is enough” and “we need change” reverberate through the air. Banners and placards held aloft by the demonstrators bear poignant messages calling for government intervention to alleviate the economic burdens burdening the populace.
In response to the gathering, security personnel have been dispatched to the scene to uphold peace and prevent any potential disruption of public order. Officers from the Nigeria Police Force are visibly present, strategically positioned around the perimeter of the protest area.
