On Wednesday, the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) directed all workers to picket all the Central Bank of Nigeria’s offices nationwide starting next week over the current cash crunch in the country.

NLC President, Joe Ajaero, gave the directive during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
