‘We can’t take this anymore’ – NLC threatens mass action over rising poverty, insecurity

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has threatened to embark on nationwide protest over the rising insecurity, poverty and high cost-of-living crisis in the country.

This is as it warned that Nigerian workers would no longer sit idly by while the nation’s economy and democracy crumble.

NLC in a communiqué signed by its President, Joe Ajaero, and the General Secretary, Emmanuel Ugboaja, said the almost 700,000 lives lost in just a year to insecurity in Nigeria can only happen in nations at war.

It also warned that when farmers could not access their lands to farm, famine becomes a looming danger.

The Congress condemned what it called the government’s failure to secure lives and property and demanded immediate action.

“The time for talk shops and promises has passed; what is needed now are actions,” it warned.

NLC urged the government to immediately declare a state of emergency on insecurity and order security agencies to deal decisively with the criminals, especially armed herders and bandits, without mercy.

“The contradictions of Nigeria’s political economy have deepened the precarious state of working people and further exposed the fragility of the social contract. At this point, Nigerians are feeling deeply abandoned,” it added.
