Perception Survey on END SARS

Throughout the history of Nigeria, agitations, protests and confrontations have occurred at different times spurred on by different causes. Dating back to the pro-independent movement of the colonial era and post-independence, the country has witnessed series of protests in the forms of general strikes, boycotts and mass demonstrations organized and led by different organizations including labour unions, youth movements and social activists with a variety of demands for change in the country (Guardian, 2020). These actions have sometimes led to changes in the system or sparked conversations at the expense of forces who oppose the call for change and at other times, have resulted in negative outcomes for some of the protesters.
