Federal government contractors under the aegis of “Concerned Contractors Owed By Federal Government of Nigeria” have hit the streets following 10-months of non-payment of the jobs they prosecuted.
The placard-carrying protesters chanted “Pay us our money”.
One of them and secretary of the body, Mr. Seun Babatunde lamented that they are being owed in billions of naira.
“Banks have collected our houses and Cars since we are not able to pay. We can’t pay my children’s school fees, we can’t pay our bank commitments.” He said.
According to Babatunde, “We are very sure that President Tinubu is not aware of this non-payment. We are using this opportunity to urge Mr President to intervene and urge the Finance minister to pay us without further delay.”
The protesters are over 100 persons.
One of the protesters noted that their protesters is not political, as they were not sponsored by any politician.
