The organised labour groups have shut down the National Assembly complex in Abuja in protest of the manhandling of the national president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Joe Ajaero.
It was observed that the entire gates leading to the National Assembly complex was under lock and key as of 9:00 am today.
However, the Presidential villa gate which connects the National Assembly complex remained open for security personnel and other essential workers.
Among those barred from gaining entry into the legislative complex were Journalists, legislative aides, and several members of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) who are affiliates of organised labour.
On Tuesday the complex witnessed a partial strike with motorists and staff stranded for several hours.
