Understanding the Frustration:

Many Nigerians are facing tough times. Rising prices, economic hardship, and unfulfilled promises are a daily reality. It’s no surprise that protests have erupted, and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is joining the call for change.

Strikes as a Last Resort:

Head of International Relations Uchenna Ekwe clarifies: the NLC doesn’t enjoy strikes. They disrupt lives and hurt everyone. But what else can they do when pleas and reminders fall on deaf ears?

The 16-Point Agreement:

Remember that agreement made last October? It addressed worker concerns, but much of it remains unfulfilled. Wages are partially implemented, and promised palliatives are non-existent in many states. A cup of rice as compensation for rising costs? That’s insulting, says Ekwe.

The Nigeria Labour Congress: Why We Issue Ultimatums, But Don’t Want Strikes

14 Days to Act:

The NLC has given the government a deadline: 14 days to honor the agreement. It’s not a threat, it’s a call to action. They want dialogue, not disruption.

Beyond Gallery Play:

Some accuse the NLC of trying to steal the spotlight from the protests. Ekwe dismisses this. The NLC fights for workers, not empty fame. They want concrete solutions, not performative gestures.

The Bottom Line:

The NLC wants to avoid a strike, but they won’t stand by silently while workers suffer. This ultimatum is a plea for the government to listen, act, and fulfill its promises. It’s about respecting workers, respecting agreements, and respecting the people of Nigeria.
