NLC in Kogi seeks adequate security for workers during Tuesday’s protest

Mr Amari Gabriel, the Kogi NLC Chairman, made the appeal while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lokoja.

Gabriel said that the appeal became imperative in view of unconfirmed planned attack on the workers.

“We just rose from our State Executive Council (SEC) meeting upholding the decision of the national body of NLC to file out in protest against the prevailing hardship in the country.

“We have already written letters to all the security operatives informing them of our planned two days peaceful protest. We are ready unless there’s a contrary instruction.

“It’s in view of this that we are calling on the security operatives to give us adequate protection during our peaceful protest.

“This is because we are going to be peaceful during the protest.

”We urge the Federal Government to do something to salvage the situation.
