THE Coalition of South East Youth Leaders, COSEYL, the apex sociopolitical youth group in the South East geopolitical zone has mobilized 2 million of its members to fully support the nationwide protest by the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, and other groups in the country.
The group stated in a statement that the protest was pertinent because Nigeria’s mortality rate has increased by 60% as a result of the suffering and hardship brought upon Nigerians by President Bola Tinubu, who upon assumption of office on May 29, 2023 unilaterally removed the fuel subsidy without any provision to make petroleum products affordable to Nigerians.
It added that Nigerians and her economy depend solely on fuel and other petroleum products to function and any decision or policy that increase the price of petroleum products will hit hard on Nigerians.
“We therefore pledge our full support to the protest in order to save Nigerians from extinction as a result of the hardship and suffering they are currently facing,” it said.
