Following the economic hardship in the nation, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) Joe Ajaero has decided to ignore the repercussions of protest but went ahrad to lead thousands of protesters to the National Assembly to deliver their grievances against the high cost of living in the country to the quarters incharge of the affairs of the nation economy.
However, different security agencies were seen stationed around the all entiries and exits of the National Assembly particularly the Federal Secretariat axis for orderliness of the exercise.
While the protesters, who were busy chanting, their cause and pains to communicate their message to the right channel which is the leadership of National Assembly.
Recalling that, the DSS had a week ago passed a warning to the public not to yeild on the plans of protest by Organised Labour slated for 27th and 28th February to foment crisis and widespread violence.
Prior to this, the Director, Public Relations and Strategic Communications, DSS National Headquarters, Abuja, Dr Peter Afunanya, in a statement, also called on labour to shelve the action meant to protest the economic situation in the country in the interest of peace.
He went further to urge the NLC to pursue dialogue and negotiation instead of protest as that will be counter productive and increase tension in the nation which can lead to more harm than good.
