The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced plans to order workers to sit at home if President Muhammadu Buhari’s regime does not address the cash scarcity in seven days.
“We have been frustrated to a level that we can no longer keep quiet,’’ NLC president, Joe Ajaero, stated on Monday, March 13, 2023, in Abuja at the end of an emergency meeting of the Central Working Committee of the NLC.
He said, “The NLC is giving the federal government and agencies under it, including the CBN and other banking institutions, seven working days to address the cash crunch. If they fail to do so at the expiration of the 7 working days, the congress is directing all workers in the country to stay at home.”
