BREAKING: NLC CONVENES EMERGENCY MEETING OVER AJAERO’S ARREST BY DSS

The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, converged in Abuja for an emergency meeting on Monday.

The meeting followed the arrest and detention of its President, Joe Ajaero.

Ajaero was arrested at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on his way to the United Kingdom, UK, for a meeting.

The union demanded Ajaero’s “immediate and unconditional release” before 12 midnight today (Monday).

The labour union also demanded the immediate reversal of the hike in the price of petrol to N617/Litre.

The Nigerian Labour Congress said it has placed all its affiliates, state councils, civil society allies and the Nigerian populace on red alert.

The NLC has also summoned an emergency meeting of the National Executive Council (NEC) by 9:00 am on Tuesday, September 10, 2024.
