Against the backdrop of the current hardship, occasioned by inflation, removal of fuel subsidy and the exorbitant prices of foodstuffs and other basic services, youths and some traders, on Monday, took to major streets in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, to protest against the high cost of living.
The demonstration began at about 11.15 a.m. as youths, traders and other passers-by converged on the popular Mokola Roundabout and subsequently moved to Sango, en route to the dual carriageway that leads to the University of Ibadan (UI).
They were chanting solidarity songs to denounce what they termed growing inflation and the dwindling purchasing power of Nigerians.
