The ASUU National President, Emmanuel Osodeke, NLC and TUC state chairmen, Pascal Nweke and Emmanuel Enogwe, respectively, addressed journalists before taking off with the protest procession.

Prof. Osodeke said, “we are protesting against recent anti-people policies of the federal government in the last two months including removal of subsidy on petrol which has affected the economy in general.

“The government should have provided the people with enough palliatives along with the policies if it had meant well for them to cushion their effects on the economy.”

Meanwhile, Chief of Staff to the Abia State governor, Caleb Ajagba, expressed concern over the country’s situation while welcoming protesters with various anti-government placards at the Government House entrance, Umuahia.
