BREAKING: ASUU strike: NLC protest hits Lagos

Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, have kicked off a protest in Ikeja, the Lagos State capital.

The protest is in solidarity with the strike action of the Academic Staff Union of Universities.

The protest, which is currently holding, is also an opportunity for the NLC to bring attention to other issues affecting the nation.

The scores of protesters who stormed the street carried placards with several inscriptions such as ‘Stop importation of petrol, refine the refineries’, ‘Nigeria at 60 years of independence, more hunger in the land’, etc.

Another placard read, “Reduce the cost of governance now, save the masses from poverty and hunger.”
