Nigeria’s Labor Congress Suspends Protest

The Nigeria Labor Congress has suspended the second day of its two-day nationwide protest called for Tuesday and Wednesday. The protest was intended to force the government to act on the high cost of living, general insecurity, and the devaluation of the naira. Benson Upah, Head of Information and Public Affairs at the Nigeria Labor Congress, tells VOA’s James Butty , the first day of the protest was an overwhelming success. He says the ultimatum for the government to implement certain demands remains in place.
