The Nigeria Labour Congress’s (NLC) Assistant General Secretary, Chris Onyeka, has declared that the Federal Government has just twenty-four hours to resolve the outstanding problems that impact laborers. Onyeka said in a Channels Television report that the government’s one-week notice is about to expire tomorrow, Tuesday. Organised labour will call an emergency conference to deliberate on next steps if the government does not comply with its requests.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
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.”CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
