Protesters have blocked Kaduna Road, a highway in Niger State linking Kaduna to Abuja.
This comes three days before the planned 10-day nationwide protest by some groups to demand an improvement in Nigeria’s economic situation.
The protesters carried placards with several inscriptions such as ‘We Are Not Slaves’, ‘Enough is Enough’; ‘Stop Anti-Masses Policies’, ‘Hardship Is Unbearable’ and ‘Fuel Subsidy Must Be Back.’
Monday’s protesters appeared unwilling to wait till Thursday as they chanted anti-government slogans. The organisers of the nationwide protests want an improvement in the cost of living and a reversal of some government policies, particularly the removal of petrol subsidies.
