The Nigeria Labour Congress has disclosed its
preparation to declare a day of protest against
high level corruption in the country.
The NLC President, Mr. Ayuba Wabba, said
this in Uyo on Monday during the
inauguration of the 2015 NLC Rain school.
According.to Wabba, the congress leadership
will ask the National Executive Council of the
union to declare a National Protest Action on
corruption.
He said, “The congress’ National Executive
Council will hold in a few days time in Abuja.
“The congress leadership will ask NEC to
declare a day of National Protest Action to
highlight our anger at the massive corruption
and bad governance of the recent past and
make our case that all stolen wealth must be
recovered, and those involved, face
appropriate punishment for their crime.”
Wabba asked President Mohammadu Buhari
to make available the names of all those who
had been identified as having looted the
nation’s treasury.
He said Buhari had promised to make public
the identities of public officers, who
participated in the massive looting of over $
150bn in the last decade alone.
The NLC boss added, “We await the arrest and
prosecution of the former Minister, who was
recently alleged to have stolen $6bn from our
commonwealth.”
He added that the 2015 general elections, in
which the All Progressives Congress defeated
the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, had
shown that Nigeria’s democracy had come of
age.
He commended the education department of
the union for its hard work in ensuring that
the 2015 rain school was held successfully.
He expressed gratitude to the Akwa Ibom
State Government and people for hosting the
seventh Rain School.
The state chairman of NLC, Mr. Etim Ukpong,
said labour would continue to support
government, adding that the welfare of
workers must remain paramount in its agenda. http://www.punchng.com/news/nlc-plans-protest-day-against-corruption/

What good would that do?

Hmmm... too much talk nowadays without actions, smh

After their corrupt elections they want to protest against corruption. Lol... Fowl shit

Kk

Everyone will show support that will drown these chants of "leave him/her alone or na witch hunting" from the Wailers.

Make all this Kwurrupt people stop to dey deceive them self, they should just admit that they are afraid of PMB's sanction.. Pretenders

So where were they when the country was been looted right left and center?

Hmmmm..

Okay

NLC just waking up from its slumber. If this civil organization was patriotic and sincere with its course, the level of corruption we would have not seen this level of corruption in our country. Rather than go on strike over increment of fuel prices, this organization should have been requesting for good governance, transparency and accountability. Where all these are not obtainable, then strike action should take place

NLC is corrupt too

mecuzee:
What good would that do?

Ode!...it will surely serve as a MAJOR deterrent to any intending looter and a lesson to the generation Indomie who have been taught that quick money is the real deal and stealing is not corruption. Also it will put pressure on the looters to give up their loot and to put pressure on Nigerians because from my analysis on Nairaland, people are now being SYMPATHETIC towards these thieves.

Way to go NLC. That support and endorsement is definitely needed to encourage Baba in his ant corruption campaign.

Stealing has indeed become corruption.

Buhari- rewriting the corruption dictionary of Nigeria since 1983.

I wonder why they didn't think of this for the past six years, or were they too occupied to?.

Anyway, its never too late to start a just course!.

U don't have to be disrespectful to express yourself. Don't show the world your lack of manners.
