The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have issued a response to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's recent statements during the Red-Line Railway Project commissioning.
Expressing deep concern, the NLC criticizes Tinubu's insinuations about Labour's moral standing and his focus on partisan issues instead of addressing pressing societal needs. The NLC emphasizes their commitment to advocating for effective governance rather than seeking political positions.
The response highlights the lack of progress in implementing agreements made since June 2023, including wage increases and social welfare programs.
The NLC condemns divisive language and threats, urging constructive dialogue to address the nation's challenges. President Tinubu is called upon to prioritize governance over politics, and the NLC reaffirms its commitment to championing the interests of Nigerian workers and the broader populace.
