Nigeria Labour Congress members have taken to the streets in Lagos State to protest against the prevailing economic difficulties.
They are also demonstrating against the government’s alleged failure to enact the agreements made between both parties on October 2, 2023, after the removal of the fuel subsidy.
The choice was made after the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum given to the Federal Government to enforce measures addressing the widespread suffering.
The deadlock in last night’s meeting between the federal government and the NLC resulted in the union’s determination to commence the protest.
In large numbers, NLC members converged at the Ikeja underbridge, engaging in singing and dancing, as they urged the government to heed their demands.
The protest is expected to continue tomorrow.
