DETAILED UPDATE ON THE POLICE INTERROGATION OF NIGERIAN LABOUR CONGRESS PRESIDENT.
The Nigeria Labour Congress President, Joe Ajaero, has said the struggle for better welfare for Nigerian workers would continue despite the police invitation.
Joe Ajero said he is committed to dying for the labour movement if need be. He stated that the labour movement remained the only patriotic and biggest pan-Nigerian organization in the country.
Speaking to NLC members and other affiliate unions that gathered at the Labour House in Abuja, on Thursday, after visiting the police for interrogation on alleged terrorism charges, Ajaero emphasized that he was used to intimidation of labour unions by authorities.
He said, “The Labour movement is worth dying for because of the patriotism and commitment. Labour movement is one of the biggest pan Nigeria organizations. Our patriotism from the days of colonial government till even the period of the military is unshakeable.
“We are more patriotic than any organization you can think of in this country, and we are going to continue to be that. We have gone there and we are back. I just want to confirm to you that as a citizen, I’ve gone there and we are back here. You can’t do this job we are doing without this type of hazard. It’s expected.
“And for those of you who call me, I told them that this is the hazard of the job. So comrades, even at the unit level, some of us experience this.”
The NLC President regretted that both federal and state governments have yet to commence implementation of the ₦70,000 minimum wage. He announced that the next struggle of organized labour would be to force the government to start implementing the minimum wage for workers.
“Whatever the case, we are out to continue the struggle. We are out. We have gotten the minimum wage, but it has not been implemented. So we have to press for its implementation as soon as possible.
“Anything that will make the welfare of the Nigerian worker to be worthwhile, we will be involved in it. We will not listen to any distraction. On behalf of the NLC and the level of solidarity you showed here, I want to thank every one of you,” Ajaero told the crowd of supporters.
It was a night of deserving honour to the Zigima that has shone for decades.
A night of entertainment, joy, excitement and laughter.
Thank you Governor Alex Otti for your intentional dedication to creating a new atmosphere of unity, peace and security, backed by visible transformation in all facets of governance.
Thank you for ensuring that Abia didn’t just rise from the ashes, but that it commenced a progressive journey to greatness in all spheres.
Thank you for choosing to inspire the younger generation by celebrating excellence and great accomplishments.
Happy birthday Bright Chimezie (Zigima)

Lady cries out after her brother was knocked down by keke on his way to early morning test at UniAbuja, faces possible leg amputation
A visibly distressed lady has cried out over a tragic accident involving her younger brother, a student of the University of Abuja.
According to her account, the incident occurred in the early hours of the morning when students were struggling to get to school for a test allegedly scheduled around 5 a.m.
She explained that while her brother and a coursemate were trying to cross the road in front of the University of Abuja, a commercial tricycle (keke), reportedly driving against traffic, knocked them down.
As of the time she shared the video, her brother was said to be unconscious and already being prepared for surgery. Doctors, she stated, described his condition as critical, adding that there was a possibility his leg might have to be amputated.
The lady further claimed that although the tricycle rider was arrested, there were moves to release him, and that the school authorities had not reached out or offered any form of support since the incident.
She also revealed that the hospital initially rejected her brother due to the seriousness of his condition before eventually admitting him, while medical bills continued to pile up beyond what she could afford.
