NLC protest needless… legitimate concerns are being addressed -Presidency
Ajuri Ngelale, special adviser to President Bola Tinubu on
media and publicity, has described the ongoing protest by the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) as a needless one.
On Tuesday, members of organised labour took to the streets
of cities nationwide to protest the economic hardship and spiralling inflation
confronting the citizenry.
During an interview on TVC, the president’s spokesperson
said the federal government is doing everything possible to ameliorate the
hardship in the land.
“Any labour union that is speaking to the concerns of
Nigerian families, the pains that are being felt by our people, is absolutely
free to do so. It is right that Nigerians speak up in difficult situations,” he
said.
