In Jigawa State, defiant protesters have taken to the streets of Dutse once more, disregarding a 24-hour curfew imposed by the state government.

The curfew was enacted following significant violence and property damage that occurred on the first day of a nationwide protest.

Currently, security forces are engaged in efforts to control the demonstrators in the Zai area of the city.

Reports indicate that despite the deployment of teargas, protesters continue to resist and have even set up roadblocks, causing ongoing clashes with security personnel.

In the Shuwarin area, located on the outskirts of Dutse, protesters have regrouped and resumed their demonstrations for a second consecutive day.

They are making persistent attempts to advance into the central areas of the state capital but are facing resistance from security forces who are actively working to block their progress.

An eyewitness from Shuwarin reported that several protesters, including minors, have been detained by the police.

In contrast, the situation in Gumel town remains relatively peaceful, as security operatives have effectively closed off major roads to prevent any regrouping of protesters.

Nigerian comedian Gbenga Adeyinka recently described President Bola Tinubu as a “financial wizard,” urging the nation to give him two more years to witness a significant transformation. Adeyinka’s confidence stems from Tinubu’s track record as the former governor of Lagos State, where he spearheaded an economic revolution that made the city a financial hub.

Tinubu’s administration has been marked by bold economic reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidies and a focus on revamping Nigeria’s financial systems. While critics remain skeptical, Adeyinka believes Tinubu’s strategic mindset and financial acumen will ultimately reshape the country’s economic landscape, driving growth and stability.

As Nigeria navigates these challenging times, the question remains: will Tinubu’s visionary leadership live up to this praise, and is two more years all it takes to see the change Adeyinka envisions? Only time will tell.
