VIDEO: Subsidy removal protest begins in Lagos
Last Wednesday, after issuing a seven-day ultimatum to the federal government to reverse all “anti-poor” and “insensitive” policies, members of the Nigeria Labour Congress commenced protests over the removal of petrol subsidy in Lagos.
The protesters have converged on the Ikeja under-bridge in Lagos. The union also called on civil society organisations (CSOs) and its councils across the states to join in the August 2 nationwide strike to protest the soaring cost of living in the country.
