Economic hardship: Arewa youths, students announce withdrawal from planned nationwide protest

A coalition of Concerned Northern Youths and Students in 19 Northern states have on Wednesday announced their resolve to withdraw from the planned nationwide protest over economic hardship in the country.

The Coalition’s National Coordinator, Jibril Sani Bello, who kicked against the protest while addressing newsmen in Kano, however, called on students in the country to desist from participating in the protest.

Bello, who doubles as the National Senate President, National Association of Kano State Students, NAKSS, said plans to join the protest have already reached an advanced stage but it resolved to withdraw from the protest because organizers and the aim of the protest were unknown.

He said, that although they understand the economic hardship faced by Nigerians in recent times protests in the past had caused setbacks to their academic pursuit.
