Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) will hold a mega solidarity rally in Abuja to consolidate on the protest rally held nationwide on Tuesday in the state capitals.

The mega solidarity rally is being organized by the congress, with its affiliate bodies to compel the federal government to reach a deal with the striking lecturers to re-open public universities that have been shut down since February.
