The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has told the Federal Government that fighting insecurity is not all about changing service chiefs, stressing that Nigerians need to see results.
President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, stated this on Friday while responding to questions in an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.
DAILY POST reports that the NLC has declared nationwide protest on December 17th over the wave of insecurity confronting the country.
“The Federal Government changing service chiefs and rejigging the security apparatus doesn’t mean we are seeing results. We need solutions.
“I think we should be real in discussing issues like this. That Minister has been removed, that the Chief of Army staff has been removed does not mean that we don’t have incidences of kidnap and banditry and all manner of things.
“We prefer to have solution to all those problems, and even change of guards, a theoretical pace. We want to see results,” he said.
When asked what options in terms of recommendations the NLC was putting on the table, Ajaero said, “The NLC has stopped putting the options on the pages of newspaper.
“We wrote to Mr President since June to provide options on tax session, on strike in the tertiary institution, on strike in the education sector and other areas.
“And up to now, no acknowledgement of the letters. So where are we going to put our demand on if it’s not on the table?”
