The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called on the citizens to do everything to love themselves as workers and as a people, saying it is only by dwelling in unity that they can build the needed strength for a better nation.

The NLC, in a statement by its President, JOE AJAERO, noted that it is in the moments of unity that the citizens find the strength to overcome challenges and build a brighter future for themselves and generations to come.

In a message titled, ‘At Christmas: May Our Hope be in Christ’, AJAERO said with the year marked by challenges and uncertainties, workers find solace and strength in the enduring spirit of hope, love, and the teachings of Jesus Christ.

According to him, nations are built when the people decide to stand together and work in unity and love.

He stressed that it is difficult to build the kind of nation the masses want if they continue seeing themselves as different in any way or form.

The NLC President urged Nigerian workers to resolve to build a new nation by mending every crack that has allowed the enemies of the people to take undue advantage of them and hold down the nation perpetually in the chaos of underdevelopment.

He also advised the nation’s leaders to put smiles on the faces of the people and pursue things that offer hope and not policies that demoralise.
