COVID-19: Contractors Protest Nonpayment In Abuja

Scores of contractors that supplied COVID-19 medical equipment and items to the Federal Capital Territory Administration have taken over major streets in protest against the partial payment of money allegedly owed them since three years (from 2019).

The protesters blocked the entrance gate of the FCT Minister, causing gridlock and preventing vehicles from accessing the secretariat.

As at the time of filing this report, no senior official of government had attended to the protesters.

But security agents are on ground to ensure that the protest did not turn violent while trying to maintain free flow of traffic in the area.
