The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has extended its congratulations to all Nigerians on the country’s 64th independence anniversary.

According to a message released on Monday, the NLC President Joe Ajaero, congratulated “all Nigerians, especially workers for their sacrifice, resilience or robust spirit in spite of serial acts of betrayal of monumental proportions by the political leadership at various times and levels”.

While urging “the downtrodden Nigerians who bear the marks or burden of broken promises, exploitation and corruption by the government to not give up hope on their country”, the NLC President called for protest within the limits of the law against injustices and subversion of democratic norms, culture and values by the dominant political elite.

Mr. Ajaero also cautioned the political elite, who according to him are preoccupied with circumventing the principles and practice of popular democracy, warning of the consequences of such acts of commission or omission.
