PHOTOS: Labour unions begin nationwide protest over fuel price hike

The organised labour, which comprises Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterpart, has commenced their nationwide mass protest against fuel price hike and other policies of the federal government.

It could be recalled that the unions hinted at suspending the exercise after meeting with representatives of the Federal Government led by Femi Gbajabiamila, Chief of Staff to President Bola Tinubu, where Gbajabiamila described the organised Labour as a listening organisation that would not go ahead with its planned protests after listening to President Tinubu’s national broadcast to the nation.

However, Festus Osifo, TUC President, had said labour leaders were going into a meeting to decide the final outcome on the protest.

Nigerians were outraged by the move, but Joe Ajaero, NLC President, doused tension by saying the protest would go on.
