The Organised Labour including the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC) and their affiliate unions, today, kicked off a protest in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, and other states of the Federation including Lagos, Abia, Plateau, Kaduna, Kano, Rivers, Zamfara, Katsina, Cross River, Ebonyi, Enugu, Kwara, Ogun, Imo, Ondo, and Edo.
The protesters in their hundreds convened at the Unity Fountain from where they marched to the NASS Complex.
The protest by the Organised Labour became intense as protesters broke down the first gate of the National Assembly (NASS) complex and forced their way into the premises.
The protesters subsequently moved to the second gate of the Assembly Complex even as Senators immediately entered a closed-door session.
Senate President Godswill Akpabio is expected to address the protesters ahead of today’s screening of ministerial nominees
