This protest comes after the NLC issued a seven-day ultimatum to the federal government, urging them to reverse what they deem as "anti-poor" and "insensitive" policies. The skyrocketing cost of living in the country has further exacerbated the situation, prompting the union to call for a nationwide strike on August 2, with the participation of civil society organisations (CSOs) and its councils across various states.
Despite the efforts made by the federal government to halt the planned strike and protest, their attempts have proven unsuccessful, and the NLC remains steadfast in their demands for change.
The situation has sparked widespread concern and attention as citizens and various stakeholders watch closely to see how the government responds to the growing discontent. As the strike continues, the impact on the country's economy and daily life of citizens remains uncertain
