By Gambo Abubakar Kaduna 

  The Coalition of Concerned Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in Kaduna State, have backed out of the planned nationwide protest starting from 1st of August, saying that, the mission of the protest is ambiguous.

  The CSOs while addressing a press conference at Arewa House, in Kaduna, the Spokesman of the organizations, Kamaladeen Kabiru said their withdrawal is not an indication that they are happy about the economic hardship in the country, but they cannot participate in protest without clear mission.

Kabiru said, the CSOs shall be planning a better protest with clear mission at a better time, if the  government fails to do the needful.

According to him, “We the Coalition of concerned CSOs of Kaduna state under the umbrella of Kaduna Concerned Groups (KCG) wish to use this medium to express our withdrawal from the planned Nationwide protest of 1st to 10th August, 2024.

“Our withdrawal is not because we are happy with the Government policies but due to the fact that the mission behind the said protest is ambiguous and the leadership of the protest refused to make it clear. 

“We wish to state it clear to the world that, we shall plan a better protest with clear mission at a better time provided the government did not do the needful.

“We equally wish to use this medium to appeal to the President to listen to the plight of the nation and handle the issues of insecurity, hardship and fuel price hike with seriousness.

“Other issues include, hike in electricity tarriff, Tertiary institutions tuition fees hike as well issues the hike in interest rates of commercial banks,” he said 

  He however urged the aggrieved youth to cancelled the protest planned for the sake of Nigeria’s unity, prosperity and development.
