Some people are saying October 1st, but that’s not the plan.” Lawal says economic hardship fueling dissent”Before now, 12,000 Naira could fill your tank, and if you earned 18,000 Naira, 5,000 Naira would be enough for public transport, whether you were in Lagos, the Southeast, or the North. “Today, even 30,000 Naira isn’t enough for transportation.””Everything keeps going up. You go to the shop, ask for a price, and often turn back because it’s too expensive. Within hours, the price changes again.”Lawal demands for transparency, accountability”They say they removed the subsidy, and from the last allocation, they shared close to 3 trillion Naira. “Where is this money? We can’t feel it. Children are still dropping out of school because families can’t afford 3,000 Naira for examination fees.”Lawal decries unfulfilled promises in educational sectorWhy Nigerians should take action, Lawal explains”Now is not the time to keep quiet. If we stay silent, things will continue to get worse.”Sanusi decries spate of hardship in Nigeria
