On Wednesday, activists stopped the entrance and exit gates, causing considerable traffic problems along Herbert Macaulay Way in the Central Business District.

According to Channels TV, the demonstrators are waving banners with bold writing and have demanded the resignation of NNPCL’s Group CEO, Bashir Ojulari, accusing him of corruption and mismanagement.
