Several workers in Oyo State on Wednesday, June 15, 2016, trooped out en masse to kick against some policies of the Abiola Ajimobi-led administration, which they termed anti-workers.
The aggrieved employees in the civil service of the state protested under the umbrella of the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC.
They stormed several streets in the capital city of Ibadan to make known their grievances with different placards.
They also kicked against the planned sale of public schools to private and religious bodies.
The workers were led by Deputy President, NLC, Kiri Mohammed.
Some of their messages read “no to concessioning or privatisation of public schools”, “the immediate payment of outstanding six months salaries arrears and pension arrears,” “withdrawal of trump-up charges against the labour leaders”, “attentions to promotions, allowances and leave grants” amongst several others.
The workers said they would not be shaken by the government and would press on till something good comes out of their protest.
