Nigeria: Youth beneficiaries of government's program plan to demonstrate nationwide Dec. 13

Youth beneficiaries of government's program plan to protest across Nigeria from 10:00 Dec. 13. Heightened security likely.

Warning

A representative of the N-Power beneficiaries has called for nationwide demonstrations starting at 10:00 Dec. 13 to demand unpaid allowances. N-Power is a government scheme aiming to address youth unemployment. Protests would reportedly occur at the National Assembly in Abuja and the State House of Assembly buildings across the other 36 states. The level of participation is unclear, though the highest turnout would likely be in Abuja.

Increased police presence and localized traffic disruptions are likely near any protests that materialize. Clashes with security forces are possible.

Avoid any demonstrations that materialize; if crowds form or clashes occur nearby, leave the area immediately. Do not drive through roadblocks. Heed instructions from authorities.
