Tinubu vs NLC: "Why beating of Ajaero is a national issue", Labour explains

  • The NLC has said his renewed fight against the President Bola Tinubu-led federal government was because it was not being treated like a social partner
  • Emmanuel Ugboaja, the NLC general secretary, said the attack on the union president, Joe Ajaero, in Imo state was done by the police
  • Ugboaja maintained that the workers are not politicians that anyone can challenge to go to court, adding that the matter is a federal affair

FCT, Abuja – The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has said it was not aware of any court judgment that restrained it from embarking on a nationwide strike.

Speaking on Arise TV on Monday evening, November 13, Emmanuel Ugboaja, the general secretary of NLC, said the union’s industrial action was not in court with anybody and that the workers are not politicians that the people can challenge to seek redress in court.
