Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde joined the state chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress in its peaceful protest around Ibadan.
Makinde spoke to the demonstrators stating that the present economic hardship would soon be over.
Their protests commenced at the NLC state secretariat, Agodi in Ibadan, the state capital, down to Gate – NTA – Yemetu roundabout where Governor Makinde joined the dissenting workers.
“I am aware of the hardship in town and the difficulty the people are going through but I will be part of the generation that will fix the country,” the governor said.
He also assured the workers that their letters of protest and complaints would be delivered to President Bola Tinubu.
The state NLC Chairman, Kayode Martins had earlier stated that the cost of living was no longer bearable, especially for the masses.
He said, “The cost of living in Nigeria today is nothing to write home and the people are fed up, so that’s why we are on the street now.”
