Plans are underway by Nigerian students to stage a mass action on Tuesday to reject the anti-people policies of President Muhammad Buharis government.
In this regard, the Zone D of the National Association of Nigerian Students(NANS) said it is already contacting students to take to the streets and press for reversal of the government policies.
The protests will take over streets in Lagos State, Ogun State, Ondo State, Osun State, Ekiti State and Oyo State on Tuesday September 8 from 0700 hours.
Kowe Odunayo Amos, Coordinator of NANS (Zone D), in a statement described the increase in stamp duty cost, PMS, electricity tariff and others as punishment to Nigerians given the prevailing economic hardship in the country due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
Said he, “Sequel to the press statement of NANS Zone D on Wednesday, 2nd of September, 2020 calling on the Federal Government to reverse the anti-people increment in stamp duty, PMS price, electricity tariff and the stoppage of the anti-social media bill amongst others, the leadership of NANS Zone D call on all Nigerian students, workers and the Nigerian people to be prepared for a mass action.”
