The Take-It-Back Movement (TIB), in collaboration with the Movement for the Transformation of Nigeria (MoTion), has announced plans to stage a protest in Lagos State and other parts of the country against some unfavourable government policies.

The protest, scheduled for tomorrow, October 17, 2025, aims at demanding an end to “anti-people” government policies, rising poverty, and forced evictions under President Bola Tinubu’s administration.

The notice was contained in a statement yesterday by Lagos State Coordinator of the TIB, Adekunle Adeyemi Taofeek.

According to the statement, the protest will begin at 7:00 a.m. at the Lagos State House of Assembly, saying that workers, students, traders, and the unemployed are expected to participate in the nationwide demonstration.

The groups said the protest would be a “united call against crippling poverty, exploitative fuel tax, and oppressive tax reforms,” which, according to them, had worsened the living conditions of Nigerians.

TIB and MoTion also condemned the recent forced eviction and demolition in Oworonshoki, Lagos, which they described as a “crime against humanity.”

The groups said the demolition, which reportedly displaced hundreds of families, reflects “government cruelty and disregard for human rights.”

“We want an immediate end to forced eviction and demolition of poor communities, reversal of the anti-poor fuel tax and all exploitative tax policies, implementation of policies that prioritise jobs, housing, and social welfare over greed and political patronage, and accountability for those who ordered and carried out the Oworonshoki demolition.

“We refuse to remain silent as the government continues to suffocate the poor while rewarding the corrupt elite. Enough is enough,” the groups declared.
