Nigerians Protest Over High Cost Of Living In Minna, Block Major Roads [Video]

Hundreds of Nigerians took to the streets of Minna, the capital of Niger State, on Monday, to protest against the escalating inflation in the country.

The protesters expressed their grievances over the surges in gas and fuel prices, blocking major roads to draw attention to what they perceived as a lack of government intervention in addressing the rising cost of essential commodities.

Videos shared on social media depicted the protesters chanting protest songs while security agents, including policemen, observed the situation.

Speaking to the protesters, Yakubu Garba, the Deputy Governor of Niger State, acknowledged the challenges faced by families in the country.
