Former NSA Sambo Dasuki and others arraigned over misappropriation at the FCT High Court in Abuja

Nigeria’s main workers’ union has declared its support for the anti-graft war of the federal government, describing corruption as a “national malaise that afflicts virtually every fabric of our national life.”

In a communiqué issued at the end of its national executive council meeting held in Lagos on Friday, the NLC said it “continues to express its strong and unalloyed support for government’s war on corruption.”

While speaking on the mismanaged $2.1 billion funds meant for the purchase of arms for the military, the Congress said “the list of the corrupt as expressed in the $2.1 arms contract scandal underscores the extent of the rot in the system.”

The labour union advised the beneficiaries of the money disbursed by the office of the National Security Adviser, NSA, to “apologize to Nigerians for their shameful act.”

The ex-NSA, Sambo Dasuki, who is accused of superintending the mismanagement is currently being tried in court. Alleged beneficiaries of the funds including the spokesperson of Nigeria’s largest opposition party, PDP, and other leaders of the party are also being tried for their roles in the scam; now popularly referred to as DasukiGate.

“Corruption is not just a national malaise that afflicts virtually every fabric of our national life, it has all but crippled the nation and accordingly requires a national action,” the labour union said.

In its communiqué released on Sunday and signed by its president, Ayuba Waba, and General Secretary, Peter Ozo-Eson, the NLC also asked the federal government to beam its searchlight on road contracts by past administrations.

The labour union also condemned the removal of petrol subsidy by the government as well as increase in electricity tariff by the regulatory agency, NERC.

Great!

This is what every rational, patriotic and progressive citizen needs to do. Corruption is the ONLY reason Nigeria has not taken it's place of pride in community of nations. It is the single factor this great nation has not achieved half of her potentials.

Anyone who sees a problem in the way and manner PMB is fighting corruption is himself/herself very corrupt in soul and deeds.

Way to go
PDP una hear ba.
Metuh to be arrested tomorrow.
Bet me.

This is actually what we need to move this nation forward, not those crying unnecessary witch-hunt like say witch dey follow dem.

Wailers won't like it....

.

Until they jail the looters,all talk na trash

But where are those funds that have already been recovered?

Check my signature anyway

hw far with economy development and employment hope we would start hearing news of recruitment and project development as much as we hear on curroption

Lalasticlala Seun Obinoscopy, this na front page material o.

OgbeifunErom:
IPOB Youths and Wailers will have heart attack with this news

They are praying for a breakdown of law and order and Nigerians keep disappointing them with their intense support for the Buhari administration

Now the NLC has voiced its total support for the war on corruption, because they know that the poverty facing majority of Nigeria is due to a few people misappropriating the nations wealth into their private pockets

God Bless Bubu

If there is any period that is critical for Nigeria's turnaround to good fortunes, it is now! Only a shortsighted Nigerian will unfortunately oppose PMB's efforts.

Front page

We don tire to ask sef

LRNZH:
We don tire to ask sef

Change the tile to Boko Haram kills 5000 and it will hit FP in seconds

Try it OP

Only IPODs and yam eaters will not support bubu

Lalasticlala

When will this go on FP

The NLC has issued support for the President's anti corruption policy.

NLC threatens the government and it makes front page instantly without anyone alerting the mods

When the same NLC praises the government, it won't make FP despite the fact that many people have notified Lalasticlala

Una well done o

One has to note that it takes the morally corrupt decadent to criticize the govt strides against corruption. Nigerians need to demonstrate our values reject stealing and corruption in all ramifications.

Take it or leave it! Buhari dey try!
