Nigerians participating in the End Bad Governance protest in Jos, Plateau state have warned business owners to join them in the protest on Monday, August 5 or shut down. DailyTrust reports say the protesters gave the warning today August 4. They said the move is to prevent damage to their properties. According to the protesters, President Bola Tinubus Sunday broadcast failed to address the pressing challenges facing the nation. They vowed to mobilise more people to come out to express their grievances and dissatisfaction with the broadcast, adding that the protest was the only way to voice their concern to the government. The protesters, comprising adults and young people, were seen carrying placards, leaves, and flags of different countries moving from one street to another to issue the warning, saying, No business tomorrow. Everyone should come out tomorrow for the protest. The protesters major demand is the removal of the fuel subsidy and tackling insecurity in the country. In his broadcast, Tinubu ruled out the return of the fuel subsidy, saying even though the decision to remove the fuel Subsidy was painful, it was necessary because it has constituted a noose around the economic jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress. I, therefore, took the painful yet necessary decision to remove fuel subsidies and abolish multiple foreign exchange systems which had constituted a noose around the economic jugular of our Nation and impeded our economic development and progress, he had said. The protest has been peaceful in Plateau with hardly any incident of violence recorded.
