Mr Chris Uyot, the Nigeria Labour Congress NLC’s Acting General Secretary on Sunday in Abuja has said in a statement that the NLC isn’t against the Federal Government’s proposed national dialogue.
He said that the union’s participation in conferences dated back to colonial times, and that it therefore had no reason to shy away now.
According to him, the NLC is not opposed to any form of national dialogue, conference or conversation that strengthens existing bonds of unity, advances democracy, builds the economy and creates an enabling environment for Nigerians to express their shared values and common heritage.
"For the avoidance of doubt, the Congress believes Nigerians should regularly talk to themselves, as well as talk to one another.”
"The constituent parts should as often as practicable sit down to talk, to address the ills that plague our politico-socio-economic well-being,’’ he said.
He said the conference also believed that a meaningful dialogue could be achieved by men and women of character, wisdom, integrity, patriotism and courage. NAN
