DSS Report Won’t Stop Solidarity Rally, Labour Tells Federal Govt.

At briefing in Abuja, TUC President, Festus Osifo on behalf of the Labour movement says workers will not accept the old parade ground alternative, they will rather occupy the streets of Abuja.

Osifo says the letter claims the May one workers Day will affect preparation for May 28 inauguration at the Eagle Square.

The Eagle has been used for Workers day May one celebration since 1999, except for the 2020 edition which was due to the covid-19 lockdown.

According to the Labour movement the action of the FCT authorities is more political than the excuse of the inauguration, due to the Labour movements affiliation to Labour Party.
