The leadership of the Labour Party has thrown its weight behind the planned industrial action of the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress, saying the presidency has been insensitive to the plight of Nigerian workers.

The development is coming in the wake of organised Labour’s resolve to ground activities nationwide from October 3 following the failure of the government to successfully implement policies to alleviate the sufferings of the masses after the removal of fuel subsidy.

The Labour Party National Publicity Secretary, OBIORA IFOH, lamented that Nigerian workers have shown enough patience and understanding.

While charging supporters of the party to stock up on food, he warned that the leadership of the Labour Party will support any legitimate means to demand better welfare for Nigerian workers.
