We Have Given FG a week Notice to Look at the Issues, and That week Notice Expires Today—NLC

Chris Onyeka, Assistant General Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has announced that the Federal Government has only 24 hours to address the lingering issues affecting workers. In a report by Channels Television, Onyeka stated that the one-week notice given to the government expires tomorrow, Tuesday. If the government fails to meet their demands, organised labour will convene an emergency meeting to decide on the next course of action....

He urged the federal government to desist from figures like N62,000 or N100,000, pointing out that it is a starvation wage. He expressed the view that they’re only doing what is right and that they’re not in any way sabotaging the government.

According to him, “If that does not meet our demand, we have given the Federal Government a one-week notice to look at the issues, and that one week expires tomorrow (Tuesday). If after tomorrow, we have not seen any tangible response from the government, the organs of the Organised Labour will meet to decide on what next.”
