The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its protest slated for Wednesday, saying it has achieved “overwhelming success on day one” of the protest.
It however said “nationwide action continues tomorrow with simultaneous press conferences across all the States of the federation by the state Councils of the Congress including the National Headquarters.”
The NLC said this in a statement by its President, Joe Ajaero and Acting General Secretary, Ismail Bello on Tuesday.
It gave the Federal Government a fresh 14-day ultimatum, which will elapse on March 13 for the full implementation of all the October 2, 2023 agreement and other demands presented in its letter during Tuesday’s nationwide protest.
The NLC on Tuesday called workers, civil society affiliates and State Councils out for a nationwide protest against mounting hardship and insecurity in the country.
The protest, which took place in many cities, didn’t affect official activities as civil servants, banks and other enterprises went about their businesses.
