Burob:Is this the answer to the question |
Mynd44:Mynd44, stop making this kind of comment; you are a moderator, for goodness sake. If NLC had supported Tinubu, would you be making this kind of comment? Oh! Because they supported Peter Obi, a presidential candidate of the Labour Party, a party owned by the NLC. It has become taboo for you and your tribalistic crew. Let me ask you: Are members of labour unions not Nigerians? Are they not affected by Tinubu's calamitous economic policies? Is this the first time the NLC has shown their support for a particular candidate? Why is the 2023 election different? Have you not seen NLC state bodies throwing their support to a governor? Probably because the governor is paying workers salaries regularly and probably increasing workers salaries and benefits. |

The pervasive hunger, unemployment, housing insecurity, and escalating costs of basic necessities such as food and healthcare demand immediate attention and decisive action. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has accused President Bola Tinubu of playing politics while millions of Nigerians suffer from hunger and insecurity due to government policies. The NLC, the largest amalgamation of labour unions in Nigeria, also said it is troubled by President Bola Tinubu’s recent statement that the labour union lacks the moral ground to challenge his government since it openly supported an opposition presidential candidate in last year’s election. The president suggested that the NLC should instead focus on preparing for the 2027 election. “President Tinubu’s insinuation that Labour lacks the moral ground to challenge his administration, merely nine months into office, is deeply troubling,” the NLC wrote in a statement by its president, Joe Ajaero. “Moreover, his focus on partisan issues and the distant 2027 election cycle, rather than the urgent needs of the populace, further underscores a disconnect from the realities faced by Nigerians on a daily basis. “The pervasive hunger, unemployment, housing insecurity, and escalating costs of basic necessities such as food and healthcare demand immediate attention and decisive action.” Mr Tinubu’s criticism of the labour union follows its insistence on embarking on a nationwide protest despite the government’s pleas. The NLC’s nationwide rallies on Tuesday were to protest the alleged failure of the government to implement agreements it had with the labour union following last year’s removal of subsidy on petrol which has led to a huge increase in the prices of goods and services across the country. In his Friday statement, Mr Ajaero insisted that the federal government was yet to implement most of the agreements it had with the labour movement. “In any case, to avoid the dissipation of energy, it is important that we focus on the real issues because we have engaged the government since June 2023 after the subsidy is gone statement. The issues are around the non-implementation of agreements reached between us and the government,” Mr Ajaero wrote before listing some of the agreements reached. Read Mr Ajaero’s full statement below. MR. PRESIDENT: WE ARE NOT AFTER YOUR JOB The recent statements attributed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the commissioning of the Red-Line Railway Project have sparked deep concern within the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). We find these remarks, particularly those concerning the role of Labour in governance, to be profoundly at variance with the struggles faced by ordinary Nigerians under existing policies. President Tinubu’s insinuation that Labour lacks the moral ground to challenge his administration, merely nine months into office, is deeply troubling. Moreover, his focus on partisan issues and the distant 2027 election cycle, rather than the urgent needs of the populace, further underscores a disconnect from the realities faced by Nigerians on a daily basis. It is regrettable that the President seems oblivious to the profound hardships endured by millions of Nigerians. The pervasive hunger, unemployment, housing insecurity, and escalating costs of basic necessities such as food and healthcare demand immediate attention and decisive action. Yet, instead of addressing these pressing concerns, President Tinubu appears preoccupied with political calculations and future electoral prospects. The NLC wishes to emphasize that our primary objective is not to vie for political positions, including that of the President. Rather, our sole focus is on advocating for effective governance that prioritizes the welfare and security of all Nigerians. We urge President Tinubu to redirect his efforts towards fulfilling this fundamental duty of public office, rather than engaging in political rhetoric. It is imperative that we refocus our collective energy on addressing the substantive issues that have been the subject of engagement between Labour and the government since June 2023. These include critical matters such as wage increases, social welfare programs, infrastructure development, and the revitalization of key sectors such as education and healthcare. In any case to avoid the dissipation of energy, it is important that we focus on the real issues because we have engaged the government since June 2023 after the subsidy is gone statement. The issues are around the non-implementation of agreements reached between us and the government. For example; on June 5, 2023 after the hike in the Price of PMS, the following agreements were reached between us and the Government viz; 1. Review Proposal for Wage Increase and Award including framework for timing and implementation 2. Review the program of Cash Transfer and propose inclusion of low-income earners in the program 3. Review issues hindering effective delivery in the education sector and propose solutions for implementation 4. Revive the CNG conversion programs 5. Review the framework for the completion of rehabilitation work on the Nation’s refineries 6. Review framework for the maintenance of Roads and expansion of Rail networks across the country Mr. President, these agreements were reached but the Committee that was saddled with working on these was never inaugurated and none of them was implemented until we were forced to organize a nationwide rally while the president gave his personal commitment. However, Mr. President, nothing came out of your promises. It took another round of protests for the October 2, 2023 agreement to be reached. We outline the agreement below so that your government will tell Nigerians which one it has been able to implement. They are; 1. The first item on the Agreement is the N35,000 Wage Award. 2. Port Harcourt Refinery will come on stream by December, 2023 3. 25,000 cash transfers to 15 million poor household would be implemented 4. Tax waivers for workers, small businesses and general public 5. Government interference in the internal affairs of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and RTEAN to be stopped 6. The agreement will be deposited as settlement with the Court by Government. 7. That CNG buses and 55,000 conversion kits will be provided 8. All parties shall henceforth commit to the use of social dialogue in all of our engagements 9. The National Minimum Wage Committee to be set up immediately. 10. Outstanding Wages and Salaries for Tertiary Education workers in all federally – owned educational institutions to be paid 11. States and Private sectors to be compelled by the federal government to give Wage Award to workers 12. Fertilizer initiative to farmers across the nation 13. Provision of funds for MSMEs across the nation 14. Visitation to the Refinery to monitor completion of the PH refinery Once again Mr. President, these are the issues and not election or perhaps seeking to take over your job. We would want Mr. President to show us the items his government has implemented in this agreement. Perhaps, the Government wants to tell Nigerians that we do not have right to ask that it complies with the agreement it willingly reached with us? But beside all these, in the two MoUs signed with this government on the 5th of June and October 2nd 2023, which item has his government implemented beside rhetoric. The first MoU has seven items while the second has 15 items. It has been a chain of broken promises not only to Labour but to hungry Nigerians President Tinubu’s administration must be held accountable for the commitments made in previous agreements with Labour. It is disheartening to note the apparent lack of progress in implementing these agreements, despite repeated assurances from the government. Nigerians deserve transparency and tangible results, not empty promises and bureaucratic delays. Furthermore, the use of divisive language and veiled threats against Labour by President Tinubu is unacceptable. It is incumbent upon all stakeholders to foster constructive dialogue and collaboration in addressing the myriad challenges facing our nation. Violence and intimidation have no place in a democratic society, and any attempts to suppress dissent will only exacerbate tensions and undermine our collective efforts towards progress and prosperity. Finally, the NLC reiterates its unwavering commitment to championing the interests of Nigerian workers and the broader populace. We call upon President Tinubu to heed the voices of ordinary Nigerians, prioritize governance over politics, and take meaningful steps towards building a more inclusive and equitable society.
