The Nigerian Labour Congress, or NLC, has pushed for an increase in the minimum salary to N200,000.
Members of the NLC made the demand in opposition to President Bola Tinubu’s decision to end the gasoline subsidy.
The demonstrators gathered at the Ikeja under-bridge in Lagos State and bemoaned the high expense of living brought on by the increase in petrol prices at the pump.
Addressing the protest, a member of NLC, said, “The cost of living is very high and people are dying every day.
“We have decided to go to Abuja to discuss with the government constructively by tendering our charter of demands which includes the national minimum wage to be put forward as N200,000, the four refineries must work and Labour to be part of the supervisory committee.”
