A 41-year-old man has embarked on a lone protest in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State
David Ubaha became his protest today, Monday, February, 19 to register his grievances over the harsh economic situation currently plaguing the country.
Ubaha, a businessman and native of Itu Local Government Area of the state, expressed disappointment over the high cost of living, saying that the situation has become unbearable and that most people can no longer cope.
The lone protester who tucked a placard in the front and back of his shirt expressed sadness that when ideas are proffered on how to fix the economy, those in leadership positions don’t take such ideas into consideration, adding that such has been a bane of the country’s development.
He listed Nigeria’s problems, including the depreciation of the naira, unbearable hardship, ravaging insecurity, unplanned subsidy removal, uncontrolled inflation, and others.
The father of two also offered solutions to revive and resuscitate the economy, calling on President Bola Tinubu to start local production, diversify the economy, revamp dying industries, and invest in mechanical farming.
He also suggested that Nigeria should stop unnecessary borrowing, equip hospitals, and stop seeking medical attention abroad.
This is coming barely a few hours after youths in Ibadan, Oyo State capital, hit the streets to protest the skyrocketing price of food and the state of the economy.
