Unemployed Man Climbs Telecom Mast To Protest Poor Economy

A 28-year-old man, Mr Nurudeen Iliyasu has climbed a telecommunication mast in Abuja, to protest the poor economy in the country.
The man was seen on top of the mast at about noon last Wednesday at AYA, Abuja.
Posters with different inscriptions were seen along the AYA road and at the foot of the mast, which read: `Another hope betrayed battered, mutilated with collapsed economy.
Others include, ‘inflation and hunger is killing Nigerians’, ‘unemployment continues unabated’, and ‘Nigeria is on the precipice of collapse’ among others.
Iliyasu said he would remain on the mast for the next seven days, adding that he was ready to sacrifice his life for the progress of the country.
“I am on hunger strike to protest and register my grievances on the condition of the country; I will remain here for the next seven days and I do not mind if I die here.
“If my dying on this mast will change the economy of this country, then I choose to die for others to live a good life”.
