The Nigeria Labour Congress and its affiliate unions today in Abuja continued their solidarity protest in support of the five-month strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities.
The NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, and the presidential candidate of the African Action Congress, Omoyele Sowore, among others are currently leading the Day 2 protest in solidarity with ASUU in Abuja.
The unions defied warnings by the Federal Government and took to the streets of major cities in the country yesterday to protest against the failure of the Federal Government to resolve the five-month strike by ASUU
Specifically, the NLC said the money the two major political parties – the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party – generated from the sale of forms to aspirants could address ASUU’s demands.
