August 1–August 10 is the planned nationwide demonstration date. The organisers have revealed their main objectives to the administration of President Bola Tinubu.

According to the ZINGTIE, the state of the economy has prompted people, especially young people, to organise a nationwide mass protest.

The youths across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, are adamant on starting the protest despite attempts by the government to put an end to the movement.

One of the movement’s organisers, Omoyele Sowore, a former African Action Congress presidential candidate, forwarded the requests to a ZINGTIE correspondent on Wednesday.

The goal of the impending “Days of Rage,” “EndBadGovernance,” demonstration is to bring the Federal Government’s attention to the state of the country.

The planned protesters want the FG to return the fuel subsidy, deal with problems in the power sector, free Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), from the Department of State Services (DSS), and permit voting by diaspora residents in general elections.

Sowore claims that Nigerians are requesting that the FG “Scrap the 1999 constitution and replace it with a people-made Constitution for the Federal Republic of Nigeria through a sovereign National Conference followed by a National Referendum.

“Toss the Senate arm of the Nigerian legislative system. Keep the House of Representatives and make lawmaking a part-time endeavour.

“Pay Nigerian workers a minimum wage of nothing less than N250,000 monthly.

“Invest heavily in education and give Nigerian students grants not loans. Aggressively pursue free and compulsory education for children across Nigeria.

“Release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu unconditionally and demilitarize the South East. All ENDSARS and political detainees must also be released and compensated.

“Rationalize public owned enterprises sold to government officials and cronies.

“Reinstate a corruption-free subsidy regime to reduce hunger, starvation and multidimensional poverty.

“Probe past and present Nigerian leaders, who have looted the treasury, recover their loot and deposit it in a special account to fund education, healthcare and infrastructure.

They are also demanding the “Restructuring of Nigeria to accommodate Nigeria’s diversity, resources control, decentralization and regional development.

“End banditry, terrorism and violent crimes. Reform security agencies to stop continuous human rights violations.

“Establishment of a special energy immediately to drive massive corruption-free power sector development.

“Immediate reconstitution of the electoral body, INEC to remove corrupt individuals and partisan hacks appointed to manipulate elections.

“Massive investment in public works and industrialization will help employ Nigeria’s teaming youths.

“Massive shake-ups in the Nigerian judiciary to remove cabals of corrupt generations of judges and judicial officers that continue denying citizens access to real justice.

“Diaspora voting”.

President Bola Tinubu, meantime, urged young people to maintain hope and trust in his administration’s capacity to change Nigeria on Tuesday, pleading with them to postpone the scheduled protest.
