The Nigerian Labour Congress on Wednesday moved its protest
to the National Assembly, Abuja.
Before the Labour Union arrived at the Legislative Houses,
security had been beefed up with fierce-looking security agents spread all over
the complex.
The human and vehicular traffic was massive with motorists
finding it difficult to enter the complex.
The Senate proceedings which already started at about 11.00 with the opening prayer by the Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan went into a closed-door session, a few minutes after the NLC arrived at the complex.
Wednesday’s protest was led by the National President, Mr
Ayuba Wabba.
Also, the students and their leadership are part of
Wednesday’s protest. Other bodies who are present include, the Senior Staff
Association of Nigeria Universities (SSANU), the Non-Academic Staff Union of
Universities, and the leadership of the National Youth Council.
Though the leadership of the National Assembly was yet to
address protesters at the time of filing this report, it is recalled that, the
NLC which is identifying with ASUU and is, “demanding for replacement of the
inconsistent IPPIS with U3PA payment platform; respect/honour collective
bargaining agreement that was freely and mutually reached with ASUU”, among
others.
