00:00Members of Nigeria's main labor union talked to the streets of Legos on Wednesday to protest rising insecurity,
00:06calling on the government to take urgent action to protect lives and property.
00:11The protesters said worsening insecurity was affecting workers' safety and livelihoods,
00:15with many afraid to commute or travel for the festive season.
00:19Security should end with year 2025.
00:22We don't want to go into year 2026 with insecurity.

00:28The federal government has repeatedly said it is committed to tackling insecurity through military operations and police reforms,
00:37but labor unions and civil society groups say more concrete action is needed.

00:49Worsening insecurity are out today to demonstrate our resolve to pressure the government to take care of our security and welfare.

01:19This is not a matter that requires foreign invasion.
01:25Security has remained a major challenge in Nigeria with the kidnappings for ransom and bandit attacks reported in several parts of the country.
