A former federal lawmaker, Ben Murray Bruce, has kicked
against the indefinite strike declared by the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC,
and the Trade Union Congress, TUC.
The NLC and TUC on Monday had written all their affiliates
and directed all workers in the country to withdraw their services from
Tuesday.
The labour unions are reacting to an assault on NLC
president, Joe Ajaero by personnel of the Nigeria Police in Imo State recently.
However, Ben Bruce frowned at the move, warning that it was
not in the national interest.
“A nationwide strike now because of an isolated incident in
just one state that is already being addressed is not in Nigeria’s interest.
“It may further a personal interest, but it will harm the
national interest. Power must not be used to settle scores.
“Instead, it must be used to promote the shores of our
economic and democratic progress.
“I call on the Nigerian Labour Congress to be rational and
put the national interest first and let peace reign,” he wrote on X.
