Presidency kept us for 3 hours at Aso Rock with nobody attending to us & we had to leave—Joe Ajaero, NLC president

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero had reacted to the reports that the NLC walked out of a meeting with the Federal Government. He said in an interview with Arise Tv news that the NLC alongside the TUC had waited at the Aso Rock villa from 3 pm to 6 pm before they left the meeting. According to him, none of the government officials attended the meeting that was supposed to hold yesterday.

If the claim of NLC president Joe Ajaero is authenticated then Nigerians should know that this very government is out to rubbish the Labour congress and Indeed the entire Nigerian masses.

The next line of action will be for government to start a clamp down on Labour leaders and heaping on trumped charges on them.

He said, ”The NLC came with the TUC fully seated and the Chairman of the committee which is the Chief of Staff to the President, was absent. We managed to listen to the secretary of the committee while being highly frustrated. Because the meeting ordinarily should not have started.

And so on Friday, we were at the Aso Rock villa from 3 pm to 6 pm, apart from the secretary and her office staff, nobody from the government side was around, nobody attended to us and we had to go. I don’t know who is saying we walked out. We have been so gentle trying to fix this.”
