Hardship: Youth leader sacked in Niger for supporting protest

Abdullahi Isah, popularly known as Biodun, has been dismissed from his position as Youth Leader of Bosso (Wakilin Matasan Bosso) in Niger State’s Bosso Local Government Area.

His dismissal comes in response to his support for the upcoming #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria peaceful protest, scheduled to take place from August 1 to 10.

An official statement issued on July 28, 2024, by Alhaji Mu’azu Adamu Laka Bosso (Hakimin Bosso), the District Head of Bosso, announced Isah’s dismissal.

“I hereby write to inform you that you have been dismissed from your title as Youth Leader of Bosso (Wakilin Matasan Bosso) with immediate effect from 28/07/2024,” the letter reads.

The statement insisted that Isah should no longer identify himself as the Youth Leader of Bosso.

“You should no longer call yourself the Youth Leader of Bosso. I hope you will make use of this information given to you,” Laka Bosso added.

The decision to sack Isah comes amid growing discontent with the government’s management of economic issues, which many believe have led to increased poverty and hardship.

His support for the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria protest appears to have been the reason for his removal.

The #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria movement has gained significant traction, advocating for comprehensive reforms and relief measures to tackle the escalating cost of living.

Supporters argue that the government’s policies have exacerbated economic challenges for ordinary Nigerians.

The upcoming protests aim to voice these concerns and demand accountability from the government.
