Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress have stormed the streets of Lagos State to express their grievances over the current economic hardship.
They are also protesting government’s alleged failure to implement agreements reached between both parties on October 2, 2023, following the removal of the fuel subsidy.
The decision followed the conclusion of a 14-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government to implement measures against the widespread hardship.
