One of the issues, they said, is the arbitrary deductions from their salaries. Another is the governor’s failure to provide palliatives to the workers.

Participating in the protest are workers and pensioners from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), Nigeria Union of Pensioners (NUP), Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) and other affiliates.
