NLC has insisted on joining a nationwide hunger protest.

 

NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has rejected purported reports that it has withdrawn from the planned nationwide protest against certain government policies and general hardship in the country.

 

The NLC, in a statement signed by its National President, Joe Ajaero, said only the organizers of the speculated national protest can decide to pull out or continue with the protest.

The statement added that the NLC has internal mechanisms that its industrial actions, such as protests pass through before such activities are undertaken.

Ajaero, in the statement, however, added that the fact that the NLC is not the body organizing the protest does not mean the labour union is oblivious to the harsh living conditions Nigerians have been subjected to due to the policies of the current administration.

 

He added that the NLC stands in solidarity with the Nigerian people in these trying times.

 

The NLC president further called on President Bola Tinubu and the various state governors to invite the leaders of the planned protest and dialogue with them on how to meet their demands.

 

Ajaero added that it would be counterproductive for the government to meet the protest with brute force.
