Heavy Police Deployment in Abuja as Hunger Protest Reaches Peak
As the Hunger Protest reaches its peak on Saturday, Abuja is seeing a significant increase in police presence. Hundreds of operatives from the Nigeria Police Force have been strategically deployed to key locations throughout the capital.
The heightened security measures were put in place on Friday evening to manage the anticipated climax of the demonstrations.
In preparation, major entry points to high-profile areas such as Eagle Square, the Federal Secretariat, the National Assembly Complex, the Supreme Court, and the Presidential Villa, which are all situated within the Three Arms Zone, have been reinforced with multiple security checkpoints.
This increased vigilance extends to major roads leading to the MKO Abiola Stadium, initially designated as the main venue for the #EndBadGovernance protests.
On Friday, the protest organizers announced plans to stage a one-million-man march across all 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, marking the culmination of their demonstrations.
The protests, which began the previous Thursday, have been calling for the reinstatement of the fuel subsidy, among other demands.
The demonstrations have become increasingly violent in several states, including Kano, Plateau, Niger, Jigawa, Gombe, Bauchi, Yobe, and Borno.
Reports indicate that at least 15 individuals have been killed, numerous others injured, and several properties damaged during the unrest.

FCT Teachers Strike Over Unpaid Arrears
Teachers in FCT government schools have started an indefinite strike over the non-payment of 60% of owed arrears by the Area Councils. This strike follows a 14-day ultimatum from the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and continues previous actions demanding overdue payments and allowances.
The NUT, led by Abdullahi Shafa, resumed the strike after the councils failed to meet their financial obligations. The strike will persist until the councils address demands for the remaining wage arrears, salary increases, and allowances. Parents are advised to keep their children at home, and teachers are instructed to follow union directives. Efforts to reach officials for comment were unsuccessful.
