Read Time:1 Minute, 26 Second
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has given the Federal Government seven-working-days to make Naira notes available.
The deadline was issued on Monday, by the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Comrade Joe Ajaero in Abuja, at the opening session of the Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting of the labour union.
Ajaero, who frowned at the difficult situation foisted on Nigerians as a result of the cash swap policy of the Federal Government, warned that on the expiration of the seven days, workers would be directed to stay away from work if nothing is done to ameliorate the situation.
The NLC President also issued a ‘Stay at Home’ order to workers across the nation.
He equally criticized the current fuel scarcity in the country, lamenting that workers and Nigerians are being pushed to the wall.
“On this issue of fuel scarcity and cash crunch, Congress wish to inform the Federal Government that we will no longer keep quiet.
“NLC is giving the CBN and the FG seven working days, if they fail to do the needful at the expiration of the seven days, all workers in Nigeria should stay at home,” Ajaero stated before the meeting went into a closed-door session.
Recall that the Supreme Court had ordered an extension of deadline for the old naira notes to remain in Circulation. Despite the order, businesses and other economic activities are still suffering a setback as the cash crunch persists.
Also recall that on February 3, 2023, President Muhammadu Buhari, pleaded with Nigerians to give him seven days to resolve the cash crunch that has become the problem across the country from the CBN’s policy to change high-value naira notes with the new ones.
