Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, says it will conduct comprehensive medical checks on its President, Joe Ajaero, amid his release from detention by the Department of State Services, DSS.<\/p>\n

Ajaero was arrested and detained at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja while en-route to the United Kingdom to attend a conference on workers\u2019 rights and social justice.<\/p>\n

A statement by NLC Deputy President, Prince Adewale Adeyanju, thanked Nigerians, civil society organizations, affiliates, and the international community for their support during Ajaero\u2019s arrest and detention.<\/p>\n

The statement stressed the importance of collective action in defense of justice and workers\u2019 rights.<\/p>\n

The statement read, \u201cAjaero\u2019s release came after intense pressure from the NLC and compliance with the demands of the National Administrative Council, NAC.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NLC remains vigilant and will conduct medical checks to ensure Ajaero\u2019s health has not been compromised.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NLC condemned the arrest and detention as a reckless abuse of power and reaffirmed its commitment to standing against oppression, intimidation and lawlessness. The organization views the attack on its leadership as an assault on the fundamental rights of all Nigerian workers and citizens.<\/p>\n

The NLC demands the release of citizens detained for participating in the #EndBadGovernance protest, an end to the clampdown on popular voices, and the reversal of hikes in petrol and electricity tariffs. The organization also calls for the immediate implementation of the 2024 National Minimum Wage Act.\u201d<\/p>\n
