The Take-It-Back Movement, TIB, in collaboration with the Movement for the Transformation of Nigeria, MoTion, has announced plans to stage a protest in Lagos State and other regions of the country against some unfavourable government policies.
The demonstration, which is set for Friday, October 17, 2025, is intended to demand an end to President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s “anti-people” policies, growing poverty, and forced evictions.
The strike notification was included in a statement released on Wednesday by TIB’s Lagos State Coordinator, Adekunle Adeyemi Taofeek.
According to the statement, the protest will begin at 7 a.m. at the Lagos State House of Assembly.
The nationwide protest is anticipated to include workers, students, traders, and unemployed people.
The organisations declared that the demonstration will be a “united call against crippling poverty, exploitative fuel tax, and oppressive tax reforms,” which they claimed have made millions of Nigerians’ lives worse.
“In recent months, millions of Nigerians have been pushed deeper into poverty as the cost of living skyrockets beyond survival limits.
“The regime’s so-called ‘tax reform’ has only worsened economic hardship, targeting the poor while protecting the rich,” the statement read.
