President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated the new president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, describing his emergence as a mark of democracy in the labour movement.

Ajaero was voted on consensus at the 13th NLC’s National Delegates Conference in Abuja.

Hours later, the President issued a statement via his media aide, Garba Shehu, seeking partnership with the newly elected executives of the labour body.

Buhari expressed the hope that Ajaero and his team will continue to be partners to the administration in fulfilling the aspirations of the Nigerian people.
