Organizers of Nigeria’s #EndBadGovernance protest are calling for nationwide demonstrations beginning on October 1, coinciding with the country’s Independence Day.

They claim the federal government has failed to address any of the demands that fueled the 10-day protests in August, during which thousands of Nigerians took to the streets.

According to rights groups, at least 22 people lost their lives during the protests.

The protesters’ demands cover a wide range of issues, including lower taxes and electricity bills, a reduction in politicians’ salaries, and judicial reform
