“The Kano State CSOs Coalition against Fuel Subsidy Removal” is now the umbrella body for all the activities of the NGOs, CBOs, activists and Associations in organizing rally, protest and activities against fuel subsidy.
The coalition was formed after one of the NLC/NTU lead protest meeting with the aim of strategizing the mobilization of people at the grassroots considering youth and women to be represented from all walks of life. Committees were formed in the areas of crowd management and communication in addition to elders. It is expected these committees will be working with committees formed by the NLC/NTU.
