The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress has threatened a
nationwide strike if the Federal Government fails to end the cash crunch
in the country in seven days.
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero issued
the ultimatum on Monday in Abuja, at the opening session of the Central
Working Committee (CWC) meeting of the labour union.
Ajaero, who frowned at the difficult situation foisted on Nigerians
as a result of the cash swap policy of the Federal Government, warned
that on the expiration of the seven days, workers would be directed to
stay away from work if nothing is done to ameliorate the situation.
The NLC president equally criticised the current fuel scarcity in
the country, lamenting that workers and Nigerians are being pushed to
the wall.
“On this issue of fuel scarcity and cash crunch, Congress wish
to inform the Federal Government that we will no longer keep quiet.
“NLC is giving the CBN and the FG seven working days, if they
fail to do the needful at the expiration of the seven days, all workers
in Nigeria should stay at home,” Ajaero stated before the meeting went into a closed-door session.
