On Thursday, business and commercial activities were partially paralyzed in certain areas of Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, due to the ongoing nationwide protest, which has significantly impacted the city.
The protest has created considerable difficulties for people trying to move around.
Commuters have been forced to trek long distances to reach their destinations, as commercial vehicles have ceased operations in response to the protests. This has resulted in severe hardship for many residents who depend on public transportation to get to work, school, and other essential engagements.
The town is largely deserted, with numerous shops, markets, and offices closed because of the protests. The few people seen on the streets are either protesters or individuals attempting to find alternative routes to their destinations.
The protests, which began on Thursday morning, have remained peaceful thus far, but the disruption to economic activities is evident throughout the city.
