We’ll shut Nigeria’s economy if…, NLC warns FG

Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has warned the Federal Government that it will shut down the economy if its President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, is arrested by the police.

The police had invited Ajaero for questioning over allegations of terrorism financing, leading to an emergency National Executive Council meeting where the NLC resolved to seek an extension of time to consult with their lawyers.

The NLC Deputy President, Kabiru Ado Sani, stated that the invitation to Ajaero was seen as an invitation to all workers and that the NLC would honor the invitation but needed more time.
