During the protest in Abuja, the protesters forcefully entered the National Assembly (NASS) complex by breaking down the first gate and proceeding to the second gate.
Protesters from the Organised Labour, which includes the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), and their affiliate unions, intensified their demonstrations on Wednesday against what they deem to be “anti-people” policies of the President Bola Tinubu administration.
They aimed to express their dissent directly to the lawmakers to do better and meet their demands.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio is expected to address the protesters before the screening of ministerial nominees, which is scheduled for today.
The protest indicates the growing discontent among the Organised Labour and citizens regarding certain policies implemented by the Bola Tinubu administration. The situation remains tense as the government faces pressure to address the concerns raised by the demonstrators.
