After reviewing the initial nationwide protest as highly impactful, the National Executive Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress has suspended the two nationwide protests.
The suspension of the protest was contained in a communique signed by NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero and Ag. General Secretary, Comrade Ismail Bello and made available to Journalists on Tuesday night.
The communiqué reads in parts: “NEC-in-session resolved to suspend street action for the second day of the protest, having achieved overwhelming success, thus achieving the key objectives of the 2-day protest on the first day.
“However, nationwide action continues tomorrow with simultaneous Press Conferences across all the states of the federation by the state Councils of the Congress, including the National Headquarters.
“To reaffirm and extend the 7-day ultimatum by another 7 days, which now expires on the 13th day of March 2024, within which the Government is expected to implement all the earlier agreements of the 2nd day of October 2023 and other demands presented in our letter during today’s nationwide protest.
“To meet and decide on further lines of action if the expiration of the 14 days government refuses to comply with the demands as contained in the ultimatum.
“Once again, NEC recommits the NLC to continuing defending and promoting the interests and desires of Nigerian workers and the downtrodden masses.”
The NLC NEC commended Nigerians, all NLC affiliates, state councils, workers, and society allies across the nation for trooping out in large numbers to peacefully demonstrate their outrage on the hardship imposed by the government and its twin altars the IMF and the World Bank.
It said NLC deeply appreciates Nigerian workers and masses for sending a strong message to the powers that be on their united resolve to demand accountability from those who occupy positions of leadership in our nation. It is believed that the message has strongly resonated.
