NLC Begins Protests In Abuja Against Tinubu’s ‘Anti-Poor Policies’

There’s a heavy security presence stationed at the Unity Fountain, Abuja, as members of the Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC) commenced their planned protest over some recently implemented policies by President Tinubu-led Government.

The protest, which was slated to commence by 7 am on Wednesday, 2 August 2023, began at 8:17 am.

Members of the NLC in large numbers were seen holding high placards and loudspeakers as they protested.

The group has since announced this protest, and after warnings and attempts by the FG to dissuade them, the rally is about to begin.

The NLC could not resolve issues with the FG at the last meeting held on Friday 28 July 2023.

The meeting which ended in a deadlock had the leadership of the NLC, Joe Ajaero revealing that the FG wasn’t ready for a dialogue.
