Africa press-Nigeria:
Following the hike in the price of petrol and electricity tariff, a rights group, the Concerned Niger Delta Youths (CNDY), says it is set for a nationwide protest against the Federal Government, come October 1.
In a statement signed by its coordinator, Comrade Israel Joe, the group noted that the increment in the price of fuel and electricity tariff will only worsen the level of suffering among average Nigerians.
Stating that the protest will be a peaceful one, CNDY emphasized that it seeks to protest against harsh economic, political among other policies being peddled by the administration of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Decrying the untold hardship that Nigerians are being subjected to, the statement read, “we wish to place a clear demand for the independence of the Nigerian people; economic, political, social and physical independence, we now seek.
