Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former lawmaker, Senator Daniel Bwala, has criticised the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for embarking on a strike.<\/p>\n

Bwala questioned why the NLC chose to strike on the day students across the country were expected to start writing examinations.<\/p>\n

The former lawmaker said that the NLC was hurting the very families it claimed to be fighting for.<\/p>\n

In a post on his X handle on Monday, Bwala alleged that the NLC was pursuing interests other than those of the workers.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201c@NLCHeadquarters Nigerian Labour Party Congress, you choose to go on strike on the day students across the country are expected to start writing examinations; thereby hurting the very families you claimed to be fighting for, Abi?<\/p>\n

\u201cYou too well know also how much the federal government will be losing daily when you are on strike; and you expect the government to use blocks and pay your wage demand, Abi?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhilst I agree with the need to increase workers\u2019 salaries to match inflation, I, however, condemn any conduct of Labour Party union leaders that will further increase the sufferings of their members and the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe day the workers\u2019 eyes open to see whose interests the labour leaders are pursuing, that day workers would sing \u2018Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty we are free at last.’\u201d<\/p>\n
