The organized Labour has said President Bola Tinubu’s administration must not fail to fulfill its promises to Nigerian workers in 2024.
The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress, which gave the warning in separate interviews with newsmen in Abuja, said the President must walk the talk in the New Year.
The two Labour unions were reacting to the President’s New Year broadcast which the People’s
Democratic Party and the Labour Party described as a harvest of deceit, false claims and empty promises. But the ruling All Progressives Congress took a swipe at the critics of the President’s speech, particularly the two opposition parties.
The APC Director of Publicity, Bala Ibrahim, in an interview with newsmen described the statements by the two opposition political parties as an affront to the intelligence of Nigerians. Reports say that the President in his New Year broadcast to Nigerians affirmed that Nigerians were frustrated because of the removal of fuel subsidy and naira devaluation.
The President, however, called on Nigerians to be patient with him, adding that his government was working towards solving all issues around the socio-economic situation through his ‘Renewed Hope Agenda.’ He also promised the implementation of a new living minimum wage for Nigerian workers this year. Commenting on the presidential broadcast, the NLC, and the TUC warned the Tinubu administration against failing to fulfill its promises.
