NLC threatens to shut down Nigeria after Nov 6, warns Nigerians to stock up on food

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) threatens to shut down the entire country and  asked Nigerians to stock up on food

The NLC said this in a communiqué issued at the end of an emergency meeting of its National Executive Council in Abuja on Tuesday.

In the communiqué signed by the President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba, and its General Secretary, Dr Peter Ozo-Eson, the union directed all affiliate unions, state councils, civil society allies, the informal sector and other friends of workers and lovers of democracy to commence immediate mobilisation of their members.

The NLC lambasted the government for its ‘no work, no pay’ policy, adding that what should have been implemented was ‘no pay, no work’.

The union maintained that the national minimum wage must be N30,000 even as it accused the Minister of Labour and Employment, Dr Chris Ngige, of insincerity.
