Protesters are currently gathering at the Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, Ojota in Lagos.
The protesters held placards as they lamented about the living condition in the country.
On Sunday, a statement by Hassan Taiwo, Ayoyinka Oni and Adegboyega Adeniji, on behalf of the #EndBadGovernanceInNigeria Organising Committee, said the address by President Bola Tinubu was yet to address their demands.
The organisers noted that they consider the decision to address the nation an “important victory for our movement.”
“Without our courage and resolve to dare the odds, even this acknowledgement would not have happened. So far, we have demonstrated that a President is not greater than the rest of the country,” the statement read.
The protests, which began on Thursday, have held in several States but have turned violent in some, leading to the imposition of curfews by the State Governments.
Early on Monday, there was heavy police presence at Gani Fawehinmi Freedom Park, before protesters started arriving in batches.
