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

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.
