Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress assembled at the NLC Secretariat, Labour House, Abuja, today for a nationwide protest against rising insecurity and worsening economic conditions across the country. President Bola Tinubu met with NLC leadership on Tuesday night in a bid to avert the protest, but Ajaero told newsmen there was no resolution to stop it.
According to news men, those present included NLC President Joe Ajaero and civil society allies, such as Omoyele Sowore and colleagues from the Revolution Now Movement. Also in Lagos, the protesters gathered at the Ikeja, carrying placards and chanting slogans demanding urgent action to curb violent crimes and kidnappings.
The protest addresses broader labour grievances, including unresolved agreements with the Federal Government, rising cost of living, and the impact of insecurity on workers’ productivity, safety, and livelihoods.
