Members of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) staged a protest at the Federal Ministry of Finance in Abuja over unresolved issues relating to allowance arrears and other emoluments.
The protesting workers, dressed in red T-shirts, blocked the main gate of the ministry, preventing vehicular movement in and out of the premises.
Although none of the protesters have granted media interviews, placards displayed at the scene indicate that the demonstration is linked to unpaid entitlements and other welfare-related grievances.
The protest caused disruptions within the ministry’s premises, as staff and visitors were temporarily stranded outside the building.
More details are expected as the situation develops.
