The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has issued a seven-day ultimatum to President Bola Tinubu’s government following the administration’s failure to constitute the governing board of the National Pension Commission.
The strike notice was contained in a communiqué issued by the President of the union, Joe Ajaero.
Recall that the Central Working Committee of the labour union met on Wednesday to deliberate on urgent issues bedevilling Nigerians, particularly workers and members of the trade union movement.
According to the communiqué, the union accused the Federal Government of diverting workers’ funds, allegedly through the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund, NSITF.
The government’s claim of ownership of the NLC National Headquarters is also among the issues being addressed by the union.
According to the NLC president, the property is owned by Nigerian workers and not the government.
