Osun group calls for mass protest

Residents of Osun State have been urged to come out and protest the current economic hardship being experienced in Nigeria.
Making the call during a press briefing in Osogbo on Thursday, the Chairman and Secretary of the Osun Civil Societies Coalition, OCSC, Waheed Lawal and Emmanuel Olowu also gave the federal government seven days to address the worsening economic situation in the country.
The duo also said it has now become important that the Nigerian people begin to mobilise and organise themselves for mass action.
While lamenting that the removal of subsidies has cast a shadow over the economic stability of Nigeria and led to a hampering of productivity and killing of small and medium-scale enterprises, OSCS said the development has taken away the purchasing power of the Nigerian people.
