Naira Crisis: NLC Directs Workers To Protest At CBN Offices Nationwide

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed all workers to protest at all the offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) nationwide effective from next week as a result of the current cash crisis in the country.

NLC President, Joe Ajaero, who spoke to journalists in Abuja, said the mobilisation for the exercise will begin on Friday while the total shutdown of economic activities across the nation will commence next Wednesday.

Recall that on March 13, 2023, the NLC gave the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum, seeking for immediate action to curb the effect of cash crunch and fuel scarcity crisis, or face industrial action by Nigerian workers.

Ajaero said the industrial action became the last resolve of the Congress, having urged the Federal Government through different channels to take into consideration the severe hardship workers and Nigerian citizens are experiencing because of the persistent cash scarcity.
