Thousands of Nigerians took to the streets to protest a devastating cost-of-living crisis, acute hunger, insecurity, and rampant corruption in the country's government.
The government's response echoed a violent crackdown that unfolded in Uganda in late July as anti-corruption protesters tried to rally in the capital, Kampala .
President Tinubu 's administration devalued the national currency and implemented a nearly 300 percent increase in electricity tariffs.
The reforms have had a ripple effect on the economy, causing the naira to lose 40 percent of its value.
Nigerian government's response to the protests has fostered additional grievances to fuel future dissent, says Zikora Ibeh .
Ibeh: The government's inept and unjust response to protests will not be forgotten by the Nigerian public in years to come.
The IMF should change its engagement approach with the region by favoring local cooperation and supporting home-grown policy initiatives, she says.
