NLC Issues Ultimatum to FG Over Anti-Poor Policies

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has taken a strong stance against what it perceives as anti-poor policies implemented by the Federal Government.

In response, the NLC has given the government a seven-day ultimatum to reverse these policies, which include the recent hike in the pump price of petrol. Failure to meet the demands within this timeframe will result in an indefinite nationwide strike, scheduled to commence from August 2.

Following a meeting of the NLC’s Central Working Committee (CWC) on Tuesday, July 25, at the Abuja Labour House, the decision to issue the ultimatum and plan for the mass protest and strike was reached. The NLC has directed all its affiliates and state councils to mobilize workers and other Nigerians, along with civil society allies, in preparation for the impending strike and mass protests.

The NLC’s move comes as a strong show of resistance against policies that are believed to disproportionately affect the poor and working-class citizens of Nigeria. The recent hike in the pump price of petrol has sparked outrage among the labor union and has compelled them to take decisive action in defense of the welfare and interests of workers and the general populace.
