Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, have begun gathering at the Congress’ Secretariat in Abuja for a nationwide protest against the rising insecurity across the country.

UGAMATV reports that some of those already at the Secretariat include the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, alongside civil society allies.

Notable among them are Omoyele Sowore and his colleagues in the Revolution Now Movement.

Security personnel have also been deployed to the area, including the police, the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, and officials of the Department of State Services.

UGAMATV recalls that the NLC had scheduled 17 December for the launch of a nationwide protest against the insecurity confronting the country.
