NLC members protest economic hardship in Lagos

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have taken to the streets of Lagos to protest over the current economic hardship in the country.

The union members also protesting the federal government’s failure to implement agreements reached between both parties on October 2, 2023, following the removal of the fuel subsidy.

The decision followed the conclusion of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government to implement measures against the widespread hardship.

The meeting between the federal government and the NLC last night ended in deadlock as the union vowed to kick off the protest.

The NLC members in their numbers stormed the Ikeja underbridge and were seen singing and dancing while calling on the government to give listening ears to their demands.

The protest is expected to continue tomorrow.
