Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have begun a nationwide protest against the removal of petrol subsidy.
The NLC expressed dissatisfaction with the palliatives announced by the President, deeming them insufficient to alleviate the country’s suffering.
Despite appeals from the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila, the NLC remained determined to proceed with the planned national protest on Wednesday.
