President Muhammadu Buhari has assured Nigeria workers under the canopy of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) that his government is running what he called “an inclusive economy” in their favour
President Buhari, in a message, congratulating the labour union as it marked its 40 year anniversary, said that the inclusive economy adequately caters for workers and their families, “which has started with the ongoing review of the minimum wage.”
Buhari commiserated with the NLC which he described as vibrant, as it celebrates the milestone, adding that it had lived up to the expectations of its founding fathers by protecting the interests of the Nigerian workers through viable engagements with public and private sector employers.
The President noted that that the NLC has burgeoned into a matured and focused umbrella for all workers in the last four decades by consistently projecting the voice of the workers, and negotiating a healthier position for them on the rungs of the Nigerian economy.
He extoled present and past leaderships of the NLC for their contributions to the development of the nation, which included their historical struggle for the return of democratic governance, and penchant for always speaking the truth to those in power.[myad]
