In response to the prevailing economic challenges, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced plans for a two-day nationwide protest scheduled for February 27th and 28th, 2024.
NLC’s National President, Joe Ajaero, disclosed this during a press briefing in Abuja, following an emergency National Executive Council meeting focused on the nation’s economic state and security concerns.
The protest comes on the heels of a 14-day ultimatum issued by the NLC and the Trade Union Congress to the Federal Government, set to expire on February 23rd, demanding action on various issues including wage increments and improved public utilities access.
Ajaero emphasized the significance of the deadline, urging the Federal Government to address the demands promptly.
The organised labour decried the adverse effects of recent reforms, including the removal of fuel subsidy and currency trading restrictions, which have exacerbated inflation, leading to widespread hardship among Nigerian workers.
