The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has asked the federal government to apologize for the invasion of its national headquarters in Abuja by security operatives on Wednesday, August 7th

In a communique issued after an emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, the NLC President, JOE AJAERO, rejected the police’s explanation for the invasion.

The congress criticized the Police’s rationale as an afterthought and an attempt to obscure the true motives behind the action, suggesting it raised more questions than it answered.

NEC said the invasion by the Police is a deliberate provocation by the Government and as such would not allow itself to act out of anger but to exercise caution for the greater sake of our nation.

The NLC urged the President to take decisive action by addressing the systemic issues of decadence, waste, and mismanagement that have aggravated the suffering of the Nigerian people.

It also urged the government to engage in meaningful dialogue with all stakeholders to resolve the nation’s challenges.
