The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has described 2024 as the most challenging for workers in the country
Mr Joe Ajaero, the NLC President, said this at the 2024 “Harmattan School” on Monday in Abuja, with theme “Trade unions and the Quest for a New Social Contract”.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Harmattan School, an annual event organised by the NLC, serves as a platform for capacity-building, knowledge sharing, and strategic planning.
He said that 2024 for workers in the country was filled with harrowing hardship.
“I welcome you a year that we have witnessed one of the greatest turbulence in our history as a movement.
“It was a period where we were invaded, ransacked, and subjected to the highest level of threats, intimidation,” he said.
Ajaero charged workers participating in the harmattan school to actively engage in the training which according to him, was aimed at preparing workers for the engagement and negotiation for the new social contract.
According to him, this year’s harmattan school affords the opportunity to dissect all that has happened to the NLC during the year, assess their dynamics, and initiate actionable steps to make ourselves stronger and better.
“We believe that in those events, we have emerged stronger, more resilient and better position to deliver on the expectations of Nigerian workers and people,” he said.
