The Youths in Osun State stormed the streets to protest the high cost of goods and services in the country.
The youngsters were led by leaders of civil society organisations in the state on Friday in Osogbo and urged the federal and state governments to save the country from imminent collapse.
The protesters defied the heavy presence of police operatives near the scene of the protest as they assembled along MDS Road, Osogbo, very early on Friday.
They were armed with placards bearing different inscriptions such as ‘change the unfavourable policies’, ‘Nigerians are suffering, we can’t cope again’, and ‘We are humans, stop mistreating the citizens’, among others.
The chairman, Osun Civil Societies Coalition, Waheed Lawal, said the protest would continue until the Federal Government thinks out solutions to the current economic hardship ravaging the country.
