In a united front, the protesters are demanding the immediate reversal of the unjust petrol price increase from N617 to N195, along with the rollback of other unfair policies, including the fee hike in public tertiary institutions and the devaluation of the naira.
According to them, these policies have inflicted immense hardships on the Nigerian masses.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have agreed to come together and mobilize for mass action while engaging with the Federal Government to address these pressing issues.
