The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe
Ajaero, has appraised the first day of the warning strike called by the union
as highly effective.
Although unions affiliated with the Trade Union Congress
clearly boycotted the strike, which grounded activities at the nation’s capital
on Tuesday, Ajaero said the support and compliance from the workforce,
including civil society organisations was highly massive and encouraging.
He expressed his opinion through a statement thus, “This is
to applaud all Nigerian workers through the actions of all our affiliates and
State Councils for the massive support and efforts at ensuring that the first
day of the nationwide warning strike took off with a resounding success across
the nation.
“You have all demonstrated that your words and decisions
will always be backed by action. This has resonated in every part of the
country today and we are sure that the message has been sent to those who doubt
our determination to push through with our objectives. We are glad to inform
you that all of our objectives for the first day were fully met because of the
high level of compliance experienced as a result of your collective efforts
around the federation.
“Congress salutes you all for your commitment towards
ensuring that the reasons for the warning strike were fulfilled at this time.
We, however, urge you all to continue with the same zeal and determination
which saw the huge success that was recorded today as we move to the second and
final day of the nationwide strike to ensure a complete success of the entire
exercise.
“While thanking all Nigerian workers and indeed the masses
for their understanding as we go through this trying time, we call for more
efforts of the kind you showed today and urge all of us to join hands to ensure
that all loopholes observed during today’s action are plugged so that
tomorrow’s action will be a total success.
“It is our civic duty to ensure that we are governed
effectively and that those in government remain accountable to the people at
all times! We are committed to that and with your continued support, our nation
will surely become a better place for all of us.”
