NLC To Collaborate With Amnesty International To Protect Vulnerable Groups by DEGr8t(m): 9:24pm On Mar 27, 2017
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has pledged support to Amnesty International to promote the rights of vulnerable groups across the country.

"I want to assure you of the support of NLC and the working class because as workers, our rights have been trampled upon several times.
You are aware of the fact that across the states, salaries, pension and gratuity are not being paid as at when due. This is a violation of the rights of workers.

Therefore, we need to stand side by side with organisations like Amnesty International to continue to protect the most vulnerable groups against the powerful and the rich in the society".

Wabba condemned the protest by the Global Peace and Rescue Initiative (GOPRI), at the office of the Amnesty International in Abuja on March 21.

He said: "It is very clear that the people who came were on a very destructive mission. They want to destroy the image and the credibility of civil society organisations, but I am happy none of them was associated with that scam.

It is actually a scam, a rented group; that is why they ended up fighting themselves over the small amount of money promised by their sponsors.

For such issues to arise, especially the hiring of people to come and protest in this office is something that we condemn as organised labour.

I really sympathise with you on what has happened, certainly Nigerians are already aware that this was a sponsored protest".
