Business and commercial activities in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital, were partially paralyzed on Thursday due to the ongoing nationwide protests. The protests have made movement difficult, forcing commuters to trek long distances as commercial vehicles have withdrawn their services.
This disruption has caused significant hardship for residents who rely on public transportation to get to work, school, and other essential activities. The city is largely deserted, with many shops, markets, and offices closed due to the protests.
The few people seen on the streets are either protesters or those seeking alternative routes to their destinations. While the protests, which started on Thursday morning, have remained peaceful, the impact on economic activities is being felt throughout the city.
Residents are navigating a challenging environment as the protests continue, highlighting the growing frustration and demand for change.
