The Nigeria Labour Congress says it will embark on a nationwide mobilisation of Nigerian workers to protest the Federal Government’s delay in implementing a new national minimum wage of N30,000.

It also urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate allegations of diversion of the bailout fund, Paris Club refund, as well as all budget support releases to the states.

But the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, expressed confidence the NLC would not embarrass the government.

The NLC in the communiqué issued at the end of its National Executive Council meeting in Abuja said it had directed that the protest should hold in all state capitals and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja on January 8, 2019.

It also said all industrial unions and state councils had been directed to fully mobilise workers and other labour unions the protest.

The communiqué signed by the NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, and General Secretary, Peter Ozo-Eson, stated that NEC also condemned the alleged violation of the fundamental human rights and freedom of association of workers by the Ogun State Government.

It accused the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, of illegal proscription of trade union rights in the Tai Solarin College of Education, Ijebu Ode, Ogun State.

Are they really suffering and shouting Sai baba? Thought they must be happy with the govt to be shouting Sai baba.

If NLC could sit down and watch Nigerians being defrauded for the past three years in the name of petrol subsidy with nothing to show for, then i must say these bunch of NLC are weaklings.

I would have taken them seriously if they had gone on strike.

Suffering and smiling!

Does NLC own Tface or Tface own NLC?

So inconsistent....

This is almost a lost battle for the NLC.
They once had the opportunity with lots of goodwill from the people but blew it.

They will be cajouled and or blacklaimed into submission till after the elections.
