The Nigeria Labour Congress NLC) has said that it has made significant strides in achieving the goals it set that led to the two-day warning strike.
The NLC while appraising the success of the strike action said the collective effort was undertaken to emphasize workers’ strong conviction that the government should prioritize the welfare of citizens and adhere to our established statutes.
In the statement signed by NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, the Congress hailed the resilience of the workers saying it is “It is abundantly clear that our united message has resonated loudly with the government, and it would take a truly inattentive ear not to hear it.”
He said further that, “As we mark the end of the two-day nationwide warning strike today, at the stroke of midnight, we earnestly call upon you all to gracefully conclude the strike and return to work tomorrow, in accordance with our initial agreement. We would like to take this moment to express our profound appreciation for your unwavering determination and dedication, which played a pivotal role in the resounding success of this action. Your contributions during this warning strike exemplify your unwavering commitment to our shared cause.
“In the event that the government fails to provide the appropriate responses to our demands, we encourage you to maintain your steadfast resolve. The same passion and determination that fueled this warning strike will be crucial if we find ourselves compelled to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike.
“Congress is not unmindful of the actions of detractors and fifth columnists but in the face of them all, we remain undaunted and more committed to the defense of Nigerian workers and people at any given time. Our nation deserves better.” (Nigerian Pilot)
