As Nigeria marks 64 years of independence, the federal government has announced a low-budget celebration amid rising public discontent.
Many citizens are planning protests over ongoing hardships, including economic challenges and rising costs of living. The government’s scaled-back approach reflects the current economic climate, but it contrasts sharply with the growing frustration among the populace regarding governance and the state of the nation.
Activists are calling for a focus on addressing these pressing issues rather than mere commemorative events.
