NLC Protesters Descend on National Assembly, Present State Demands

The protesters carried placards bearing messages like #End Poverty and Hunger, Support Local Industries; Fix Local Refineries, End Subsidy; #End Naira Devaluation; Tax the Rich, Subsidize the Poor.

Receiving the letter was the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Labour, Employment, and Productivity, Senator Diket Plang.
