FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by Ofunaofu(op): 7:21pm On Jul 21, 2025
The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has accused the Federal Government and state governors of systematically crushing dissent, weakening democratic institutions, and unlawfully seizing workers’ contributions, which it described as stealing workers’ sweat.


NLC President, Joe Ajaero, made the remarks at the opening ceremony of the 21st Rain School of the NLC, held in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, stating that Nigeria was on the brink of tyranny.

Ajaero described Nigeria as a democratic space, the very arena where citizens, especially the working class, face an assault on their rights to free speech, assembly, and participation in governance.

According to him, the ongoing clampdown on civic freedoms and union activities is a calculated effort to silence the voices of Nigerian workers ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“Governance has been abandoned for 2027 politicking. Leaders who should be working to alleviate suffering are instead consumed by power games, leaving workers and ordinary Nigerians to bear the brunt of economic hardship and mounting insecurity, all imposed by their policies,” he said.

Good morning to the beautiful people of nairaland.. remember yesterday is not today..so there is HOPE!

Sadly true. 2027 has taken the heart of every politician. They don't care about delivering the dividends of democracy without any remorse because they have succeeded in weakening the institutions that should checkmate them. Berkete is gone, NLC is gone, opposition is not working. The masses are helpless in the hands of bandits

Tell that to The President, Ahmed Bola Tinubu.

This is what I can write, please , kindly add yours if you really have something tangible and meaningful to add.

As Obi don signaled this one that he will likely be contesting the Presidential election on the LP platform, NLC has started it's blackmail where it left off in 2023.

In Nigeria, everybody na politician!

Really stealing the workers future. How in this world you refuse to pay salaries, pay leave bonuses and refused to pay pension deduction. Look at Kogi state under Yaya Bello, nothing happened, look at the present situation in Ogun state, with all the increased allocation and the state IGR, where is all these money going. Nigerian government are wicked. These administration has institutionalised corruption
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by AntiChristian: 6:39am On Jul 22, 2025
People should stop calculating for the government! Where's the money going? It's going into some form of development even though you may not see it. Even peace and security is costly!

You may not see where the funds are being spent.
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by VeeVeeMyLuv(m): 7:03am On Jul 22, 2025
It is now you guys are just waking up.

What is happening in Nigeria is an anomaly

I have been saying this for ages. It is very abnormal.

All because someone is in leadership position, they just start to recklessly and senselessly pack funds meant for the public welfare and use it to serve their selfish self and their families.
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by soyinkaseun1010(m): 7:09am On Jul 22, 2025
That one in Ogun is worse....

People have been due for promotion since 2024 and u said they will only receive the increments March next year...

No minimum wage,
No promotion letter and payment,
No leave allowance for over 8 year,
No pension remittance since over 10 years ago.

Civil Servants are the one feeling much of this bad government policies, tinubu the tax master is taxing them on any penny that drops in their accounts, the cost of services and good have skyrocketed while their salary remains the same. The stagnant salary amount always finished before 16th of the month.

The highest denomination naira currency (1k) cannot buy a plate of food even in a local restaurant - too bad. A tuber of Yam is 5k -teribly bad.

1st class Economist in Tinubulation economy said he will reduce purchasing power by widening tax..
No wonder Civil Servants are becoming more poorer
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by Ten06(m): 7:12am On Jul 22, 2025
This is just the beginning of your complaint. You worked with the Tinubu government to deny us the new minimum wage. After reaching an agreement with the federal government on a new minimum wage of ₦70,000, you and the government conspired and decided not to pay workers. As of today, no federal worker has received the new minimum wage. You will soon get tired of pretending to care and your antics will be revealed.

Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by Sk5050: 7:15am On Jul 22, 2025
Strike is needed at this point this administration is so shameless stealing from workers salaries and refuse to implement the new minimum wage even wage award hasn't been paid all promises hasn't been implemented shame on this administration.

Being a civil servant in Nigeria is the worst job on earth . After then is moderation on NL


Most civil servants in this Kwara State sold cars to go buy ladies bike. Okada just full everywhere
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by mysteriousman(m): 7:26am On Jul 22, 2025
The conditions of living of a Nigerian worker is not short of pitiful. They tell you, you can't get rich being a civil servant yet when you take a look at civil servants from nations that are not as rich as Nigeria its then you will see the difference that in nigeria we have nothing but bad leaders
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by cjudy(m): 7:26am On Jul 22, 2025
They will continue stealing it until the masses get sense
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by Honestey: 7:29am On Jul 22, 2025
Because NLC has lost its relevance. Give me more characters please
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by Dididrumz(m): 7:30am On Jul 22, 2025
These NLC guys are so useless. Nigeria wouldn't be like this if NLC wasn't so political.

It's still all about their personal interest.
Re: FG, Governors Stealing Workers’ Sweat – NLC by Bfly: 7:36am On Jul 22, 2025

The toothless and spineless fowl has come out again after eating Tinubu's corn.

Throw some grains of corn for him again and watch how he will clean mouth and forget that he is NLC president.
