Tinubu Inaugurates Lagos Red Line Rail, Slams Labour Unions

President Bola Tinubu has condemned the recent protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

He stated this at the commissioning of the Lagos Red Line Train project connecting Oyingbo to Agbado.

The Labour Union had on Tuesday staged a protest over the hardship resulting from the economic reforms of the president.

But the president said there is no going back on his economic policies while assuring Nigerians of the recovery of the economy.

The president warned the organized Labour against considering itself as the mouth piece of the people.

On the commissioned project, the President described it as the culmination of the vision he birthed 25 years ago when he was governor of the state and called for more inter-government collaborations in the area of infrastructure.

Human Rights Lawyer, Femi Falana, Warns Nigerian Leaders Against Provoking Citizens Into Revolt

Human Rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has said that the high level of poverty in Africa is responsible for the wave of coups in the continent.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria stated this at a Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) national symposium held in Abuja, under the theme: “Nigerian Economy and the Crisis of Survival, Robbing the Poor to Pay the Rich”.

Falana stressed that despite the poverty in the country, the National Assembly allocated billions to itself.

He subsequently cautioned Nigerian governments against taking the citizens for granted.

His comment comes on the heels of recent coups in Africa. The latest in Gabon where soldiers seized power, ending decades of the Bongo dynasty’s reign.

In his own remarks at the event, NLC President, Joe Ajaero, spoke on the unworkability of government measures to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal on Nigerians.
