About 70 entrepreneurs would be on the premises of the ministry.
Disgruntled public contractors stormed the premises of the Ministry of Roads and Highways to demand payment of unpaid arrears.
The development took place despite an ongoing meeting between their leaders and the Minister of Roads and Highways and his Directors General.
The protest comes months after the minister badured them that the government would pay the arrears due to them after the execution of their contracts.
About 70 contractors would be on the premises of the Ministry, dressed in a red bandage and bandeau.
One of the contractors told Searram Agbogbli of Starr News "from 2016 to date and we have not been paid. We are here to demand payment and see how they may be able to pay us. "
Another entrepreneur lamented that his properties were confiscated, forcing him to fire workers.
The group added that they were on hand to entertain themselves while waiting for some good news.
Starr News saw two police vans fully loaded with police officers dressed in full armor and posted to the ministry.
