On Tuesday, Seyi Makinde, the Governor of Oyo State, actively participated in a peaceful protest organized by the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress.
Assuring the demonstrators that the current challenges would soon be alleviated, Makinde joined the protest as it moved from the NLC state secretariat in Agodi, Ibadan, to Gate – NTA – Yemetu roundabout.
Expressing awareness of the prevailing hardships, the governor pledged to be part of the generation that addresses and resolves the country’s issues.
Furthermore, he committed to delivering the workers’ protest letters and complaints to President Bola Tinubu.
The state NLC Chairman, Kayode Martins, emphasized the unbearable cost of living, particularly for the common man, as the motivation behind the protest.
