The Nigeria Labour Congress has announced its readiness to conduct a two-day nationwide protest on February 27 and February 28, 2024.
The decision, disclosed by NLC’s National President, Joe Ajaero, comes a week after the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government, set to end on February 23.
Ajaero emphasized the urgency during a press briefing in Abuja, following an emergency National Executive Council meeting addressing economic concerns and insecurity matters.
The protest stems from the government’s alleged failure to meet demands ranging from wage increases to enhanced access to public utilities.
The NLC urges the Federal Government to adhere to the ultimatum, expressing concern over the impact of reforms on millions of workers, including heightened inflation and insecurity following recent policy changes.
