Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC) has again raised an alarm that the Federal
Government is working tirelessly to weaken the labour movement by
facilitating the registration of a new labour centre.
The President of the Congress, Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar, who spoke
yesterday at the 10th NLC Rain School 2012, holding in Uyo, the Akwa
Ibom State capital, described the move as illegal and against the extant
labour law.
Omar who spoke on the theme , “Labour, Popular Power and the Quest
for a New Nigeria,” however blamed the current move on the last January
2012 nation-wide protest, because, according to him, it is still fresh
in the minds of government.
He said, “As workers we must sit up; we must be watchful so that
people will not come and give us sweet talk. At the end of the day, it
is our integrity, our work and our welfare that will be affected.
