26 Jan Labour Suspends Planned Nationwide Protest
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has suspended its nationwide protests slated for Thursday, 27th January and February 2, 2022, a decision made at its National Executive Council meeting, which was held virtually on Tuesday.
NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, who broke the news at press conference yesterday said the decision to suspend the protests was due to the reversal of the Federal Government’s plan to stop the subsidy on petrol.
He said members of the NLC who had been mobilised would be demobilised following the decision to suspend the protests.
Wabba said the congress has communicated the decision to its civil society allies who have stood stoically behind Nigerian workers in their quest for social and economic justice.
He, however, said that the NLC would continue to engage with the government on the very critical issues of ensuring local refining of petroleum, creation of sustainable jobs and affordable price of petrol for Nigerian workers and people.
