…. Debunks Claim Of Cancelation
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has stated that there is no truth to reports online that its planned mass protest for Wednesday has been called off, according to the president of NLC, Joe Ajaero.
He told the Vanguard newspaper that there was no reason to cancel the protest, and that they would have announced any change of plans if they were made.
He added that mobilization for the protest has been going well, and people can expect it to take place as planned.
“We have no reasons to call off the planned protest. If we suspend or call it off, you will know. I can tell you that the mobilization is very high.”
Ajaero comment is coming after NLC held its rescheduled meeting with Steering Committee on palliatives at the presidential villa in Abuja on Tuesday (today).
Speaking further, He also dismissed fears that the peaceful protest could be hijacked by hoodlums, saying that such had never happened in the history of workers protest.
However, he said it is the responsibility of security agencies to provide security for the protest to protect the workers.
