Contractors have laid a coffin at the entrance of the Finance Ministry headquarters in Abuja.
The contractors under the aegis of All Indigenous Contractors Association of Nigeria (AICAN) started a non-stop protest at the ministry on Tuesday over debts being owed by the Federal Government.
They accused the federal government of attempting to push them out of business.
An executive of the association said they brought the coffin to symbolize how they had been burying their members due to incidents relating to the debt.
He said, “Even last week we buried a member, Abdulganiyu..
This has been going on for long. And it’s unacceptable. We lost six members recently due to high blood pressure.”
