The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has taken a significant step in its ongoing industrial action against the federal government by cutting off the water supply to the National Assembly complex in Abuja. This move is aimed at intensifying pressure on the government to meet the labour union’s demands, which include a review of the minimum wage and improved working conditions for workers.
The NLC has been protesting the government’s handling of the economy and its failure to address the plight of workers, who have been struggling to make ends meet due to rising inflation and stagnant wages. The union has also accused the government of not doing enough to address the country’s economic challenges, including the high cost of living and unemployment.
The cut-off of water supply to the National Assembly complex is a symbolic move, as it affects the lawmakers and staff who work in the complex. It is a peaceful protest, but one that is likely to cause discomfort and disruption to the activities of the National Assembly.
The NLC has vowed to continue its industrial action until the government meets its demands, and this latest move is a clear indication of the union’s determination to push for change. The government, on the other hand, has been urged to take the labour union’s demands seriously and work towards finding a solution to the crisis.
