NLC PROTEST IN LAGOS.webp
The Digest:

Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress have staged a protest in Lagos, demanding urgent government action against escalating violent crimes and kidnappings. The demonstration, held at the Ikeja underpass, followed a late-night meeting between NLC leaders and President Bola Tinubu, signaling unmet demands for concrete security measures.

Key Points:
  • Protesters gathered early Wednesday, carrying placards and chanting slogans.
  • Messages included "Federal Government No More Excuse... End Insecurity Now!"
  • The action proceeded despite NLC leaders meeting President Tinubu hours earlier.
  • NLC President Joe Ajaero confirmed the protest would continue as planned.
  • Security operatives were deployed to maintain order along the route.
  • The demonstration remained peaceful with no arrests reported.
  • Protesters voiced exhaustion over "empty promises" and living in constant fear.
The streets become a podium when dialogue feels insufficient, translating collective anxiety into a visible, public appeal for safety and decisive governance.
