NLC demands withdrawal of tax reform bills, seeks wage review

The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has called on the Federal Government to withdraw the contentious tax bills currently before the National Assembly.

In his New Year message to Nigerians, particularly workers, NLC President Joe Ajaero emphasized that the withdrawal of the bills is essential to safeguard the welfare of Nigerian workers.

Ajaero also urged the government to prioritize transparency, inclusivity, & honesty in its engagement with the public, ensuring that its actions reflect the best interests of the masses.

Titled “In 2025, Hope is in Our Collective Resolve,” the message read: “As we step into the year 2025, the Nigeria Labour Congress extends warm New Year greetings to every worker & citizen across our great nation.

The challenges we have faced in striving for survival must not defeat us. Instead, we must summon the inner strength to build a collective resolve that will steer Nigeria away from the grip of underdevelopment & toward progress & prosperity.”
