Tinubu Inaugurates Lagos Red Line Rail, Slams Labour Unions

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

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.
