Chanting solidarity songs and brandishing placards, the protesters are demanding the immediate payment of withheld salaries, pensions, and outstanding allowances owed to workers across key sectors.

The demonstration, which began in the early hours of Wednesday morning, has brought parts of the Central Area to a temporary standstill.

Representatives of the Ministry of Finance have responded to the protest, assuring the labor unions that payments would be processed and disbursed within 48 hours.

However, union leaders have warned that failure to meet this deadline will trigger a nationwide shutdown of oil and gas operations.

This protest is part of a growing climate of agitation in Nigeria's capital.

Earlier this month, demonstrations were also held demanding the release of activist VeryDarkMan and calling for urgent reforms to cybercrime laws and governance structures.
