IYC yet to decide on hunger protest

The Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, on Saturday, declared that the group “has not taken any position on whether or not it will massively participate in the proposed hardship protest scheduled to commence on August 1, 2024”.

This was contained in a statement signed by the group’s spokesman, Binebai Yerin Princewill, copies of which were made available to journalists in Warri, Delta State.

“While the IYC is not comfortable with the current hardship faced by Nigerians and the underdevelopment rocking the Ijaw areas, we are yet to decide on whether we are to protest or not, but rather considering the high-powered meetings, only the coming days shall tell as the cost of living is very high in Nigeria”, the statement read.

The IYC, however, stated that it was “using this medium to inform the Federal Government, the various state Governors, interventionist agencies to rather work swiftly in addressing the unbridled and harsh economic realities rocking Nigerians and not to dare make any attempt to intimidate protesters.”

According to the statement, the IYC resolved to “come out to clear the air on the issue as one of the most vibrant, largest and formidable youth organisations in Nigeria and the world at large.”

It added, “Government must act swiftly now before the protest becomes inevitable in the coming days. The level of hardship faced by Nigerians has really reached a boiling point. This is really unbearable.”

The Council called on Ijaw youths to “remain calm as the coming days shall tell on our next line of action.”
