As Labour strike begins… report protest in your area!

As Labour strike begins… report protest in your area!

Protesters in Lagos.

The Labour nationwide strike over the removal of subsidy on petrol commences today, after efforts by the Federal Government to avert the strike with the anouncement of some palliative measures, new policy decisions, National Industrial Court (NIC) order,  restraining labour from embarking on protests/strike failed.

The House of Representatives,  yesterday, in an emergency  sitting also asked government and Labour to shelve the subsidy removal and strike.

But neither government nor labour has changed their position.

However, in Vanguard’s citizen report initiative,  we invite our numerous readers to be part of the coverage of the subsidy protest.

Readers should send us reports of  the strike/ protest in their areas, as these reports will be quickly verified and published immediatly.

This also includes photos and videos.
