Nigeria’s labour unions have commenced nationwide protests.
President of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Joe Ajaero,
disclosed this on Wednesday in an interview with Channels Television at Unity
Fountain, Abuja, where workers gathered to hit the streets.
He said there are some hindrances in the commencement of the
protest in some states.
“Protests have taken off in all states bearing some
hindrances in some places. We are aware of the Police efforts to stop the
process in some areas.
“To be candid with you, nothing is stopping the protest.
Based on responses from state governments, it is equally our determination
whether the protest will be for today, tomorrow or next, not by using force to
stop the people from expressing their views. We are here for the protest, to
make a statement to Nigerians”, he stated.
Recall that workers announced a nationwide
protest on August 2 to demand a reversal of fuel price increments and other
policies by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s government.
As of the time of filing this report, workers had gathered
for protests at Unity Fountain Abuja, Ogun and Kano states.
