NLC and TUC Issue 14-Day Ultimatum to FG Over Unmet Agreements

In a joint statement released on Thursday, leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Joe Ajaero and Festus Usifo respectively, have issued a stern ultimatum to the Federal Government. This ultimatum comes in response to the non-implementation of a 16-point agreement forged between the government and the labour unions following the removal of the petrol subsidy.

Expressing dismay over the lack of progress in fulfilling the agreements, the labour unions have given the Federal Government a 14-day grace period, starting from February 9 to February 14, 2024, to meet its obligations. These agreements were aimed at alleviating the widespread suffering caused by the hike in fuel prices and the devaluation of the Naira, which have had severe economic repercussions for Nigerian citizens and workers.

The statement highlights the dire consequences of these policies, including rampant hunger, eroded purchasing power, and heightened insecurity across the nation. Despite pledges from the Federal Government to address various issues affecting the welfare of the masses and workers, including wage adjustments and access to public utilities, the labour unions lament the government’s failure to uphold its end of the bargain.

Among the grievances cited are government interference in union activities, illegal proscription of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN), and neglect of citizens’ welfare. The NLC and TUC underscore the urgency of the situation and warn of potential repercussions if their demands are not met within the stipulated timeframe.

Calling for immediate action and fulfillment of commitments, the labour unions emphasize that further delays will not be tolerated. They assert their commitment to safeguarding the rights and dignity of Nigerian workers and citizens, urging the government to prioritize the welfare of its people over empty promises and excuses.

As the ultimatum looms, the NLC and TUC affirm their resolve to hold the government accountable and compel remedial action to address the ongoing hardships faced by Nigerian workers and masses.
