The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has ordered it’s workers to launch nationwide protest at all offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria staring from next week over the scarcity of Naira in the country.
This development is coming days after the officials of NLC gave Central bank of Nigeria and commercial banks seven days ultimatum to end the current cash crisis in the country.
Comrade Joseph Ajaero, The NLC national president, said in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja, that the decision was necessary after the ultimatum issued last week has ended.
The Labour leader assumed his new position as the national president at a time when Naira and fuel scarcity began to push Nigerians into hard times.
In his acceptance speech a month ago, Ajaero vowed to mobilise workers against the dual challenge of fuel and naira scarcity if the federal government fail to address the issues.
On Wednesday, the organised labour leader said the Congress would also direct its members to observe sit-at-home should the scarcity persist.
