The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), in the early hours of Tuesday, commenced its protest in solidarity with the striking Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and other university-based unions.
Scores of NLC members and other unions converged at Ikeja Under Bridge in Lagos State to commence the protest on Tuesday.
There was also a heavy presence of security operatives at the venue of the protest to forestall the breakdown of law and order.
