Protesters on Monday blocked the ever-busy Minna-Bida Road at the popular Kpakungu Roundabout and called on the administration of President Bola Tinubu to address the problem of ‘hunger in the land.’
Attempts by security operatives to quell the protest by firing tear gas cannisters and making some arrests were rebuffed by the protesters.
On the same day, youths in Kano protested over hardship with Governor Abba Yusuf assuring he would take their complaints to the President.
