They suspended the strike without achieving anything - Deji Adeyanju tackles NLC

Activist, Deji Adeyanju has taken to Twitter to tackle the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress NLC for suspending its Wednesday, June 7, planned strike over the removal of the fuel subsidy.

Adeyanju opined that compromise is the next thing when people who are supposed to be protesting are ''almost sleeping in the villa.''

"Woke up to see the betrayal by NLC. I knew this was going to happen. Once you see people who should be protesting almost sleeping in the Villa, compromise is the next thing. They suspended the strike without achieving anything. A hungry man cannot do Aluta. Shame!!!"

Recall that the Labour Congress on Monday, June 5 confirmed it will no longer proceed with its planned strike for Wednesday, June 7.

The decision was part of resolutions announced by the Speaker, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila and confirmed by the President of the Nigerian Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, after a nearly six-hour meeting between the Federal Government and the organised labor at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Monday’s engagement is the third in a series of meetings between the government and key labour stakeholders after the President, Bola Tinubu, announced the discontinuance of petroleum subsidy exactly one week ago.

At Monday’s meeting, the parties agreed that “The NLC will suspend notice of strike forthwith to enable further consultations.

“The TUC and the NLC to continue ongoing engagements with the Federal Government and secure closure on the resolutions.
