The protest, according to labour, became necessary following the cost of living crisis in the country, particularly among the civil servants.
Concerned over the security situation in the nation’s capital, the FCT Police Public Relations Officer, SP Josephine Adeh told DAILY POST that operatives of the command would be on ground during the protest to forestall a breakdown of law.
She, however, said the command has not been informed of any planned protest in the territory.
The PPRO said, “I wish to note that the FCT Police Command isn’t aware of any intending protest.
“However measures will be emplaced to ensure that hoodlums do not take advantage of any activities of the NLC to disrupt the peace in the FCT if the protest does occur”.
