EDO NULGE: WORKER SLUMPS DURING PROTEST

A local government worker slumped and died yesterday morning during a statewide protest organised by the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Edo State over accumulated unpaid salaries.

The protest led by the National President of Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Ibrahim Khaleel, had been what could be referred to as a mother of all protests. Thousands of council workers turned out for the exercise calling on the government to heed their cry over the non-payment of salaries of over 5 to 18 months.
