Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have started protests in several parts of the country over the biting economic hardship.
Labour and Federal Government authorities had met Monday in a late push to stop the protests, but the meeting ended with no agreement reached between the parties.
As early as 7:00 am, protesters started gathering in different parts of the country, bearing placards and putting on the paraphernalia of the NLC.
There is a heavy presence of security personnel in various states of the federation, as protesters expressed their frustrations at the current nationwide hardship.
At the Ikeja under the bridge area of Lagos State, the Labour Congress has been joined by some other Unions, such as the Nigerian Union of Teachers, (NUT), The Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) among others.
