List Of Those Supporting, Against Planned Nationwide Protests

The planned nationwide protests against hunger and economic hardship have generated many reactions from Nigerians on and off social media.

Organisers of the protests who are largely unknown have continued to use social media platforms to promote their demands.

Nigerians agree on the state of the nation’s economy but not all Nigerians support the proposed protests.

As reported by The Nation, many stakeholders, CSOs, bodies and others have pleaded with the organisers to shelve their plan.
