Photos: NLC Protests in Oyo, Ondo

Determined to show its solidarity with striking workers in the public tertiary education sector in the country, and also to lend its voice to the call on the Federal government to speedily resolve the ongoing strike, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its affiliate unions, directed its members to hold nationwide protests on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The protest, according to a letter from NLC, was part of the Labour Centre’s direct action to condemn what it described as “the Iaissez-faire attitude of the government to the lingering industrial action in Nigeria’s Universities, Polytechnics, Colleges of Education and Research Institutions especially the recent activation of “no work no pay” policy on striking university workers.”
