ADC warns of protest over unpaid contractor debt, pension arrears

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has warned it will join nationwide protests if the federal government does not clear long-standing debts owed to indigenous contractors and settle pension arrears. Party spokesperson Bolaji Abdullahi criticised the government for “insensitivity,” noting that contractors under AICON have already staged demonstrations with symbolic coffins to demand payment of over N500 billion in verified debts.

The party also condemned the government’s failure to implement approved pension increments, prompting FRCN pensioners to plan a nationwide naked protest. The ADC said the government cannot boast of high revenue performance while citizens suffer and alleged that the administration is prioritising 2027 political activities instead of addressing urgent obligations. The party vowed to march in solidarity if action is not taken immediately.
