The House of Representatives has attacked organised labour, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, for feeding the public about what it described as “fake earnings” of its members.
It said that the attempt was made to stoke public resentment against the lawmakers and undermine the credibility of the legislature.
It warned that such acts could stoke public resentment against lawmakers and undermine the legislature’s credibility, calling for the actors sabotaging the nation’s economy to be brought to justice.
The House made this known in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Akin Rotimi.
The House also condemned the shutdown of critical infrastructure, such as the national grid and airports, during the joint unions’ mandated strike.
It further urged the union leadership to return to the negotiation table and engage other stakeholders in good faith to achieve a balanced and sustainable outcome.
