Meanwhile, the chairman of NLC in the state, Comrade Ismaila Oko, who led the protest, called on the federal government to reconsider its decision in view of the hardship the workers and the masses awee experiencing as a result of the subsidy removal.

“The whole salaries of workers now is being spent on transportation to offices only since May 29 that subsidy was announced to have been removed.

“Workers can no longer cater for the school fees of their children, feed their family members and live up to other responsibilities,” he said.
