They will speak against and stop anti-labour issues. The people elected can hold the National Assembly accountable. We are going to speak to them and present our charter of demands, while we do our union job. We will organise the Labour Party to take over leadership in the country and we urge all workers to be patient. It is going to be owned by labour.
We should not just assume we know their problems but by coming close to them, we get acquainted with their problems and take them back to our organs and deliberate upon for us to know the best approach to solve their problems. his is a burden that the NLC must carry. Then the issue of minimum wage, the pay that cannot take you home. So, these are some of the issues that we will have to contend with as a movement.
The leadership of the NLC will seek platforms to lift workers from the shackles of poverty. We will not betray that trust! We are committed to pursuing the interests and desires of workers and by extension, the majority of the masses. We, therefore, pledge our loyalty to the NLC, workers, the masses and Nigeria. Our thoughts and our actions shall be propelled by this avowal.
You cannot isolate the NLC from the challenges of the country. As of today, we have this challenge of scarcity of cash, which is affecting the worker. When we are saying that the worker doesn’t have enough, even the little that he is getting, even that N1,000 that he has, to access it is very problematic. That is one.
It shouldn’t be a secret if it is not a scam. Who are the owners? If you sell a government public corporation, you should be able to tell us the owners of such companies and who you sold it to.That is an issue we will collaborate with our colleagues in that sector to have a committee that will give us accurate information on what actually is happening there.
