NLC President: We Told Tinubu Workers Are Broke

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, has revealed the focus of a critical meeting with President Bola Tinubu. Ajaero stated that Tuesday night's talks with the government centered squarely on the severe financial insecurity facing Nigerian workers. The meeting included leaders from organized labor groups. The disclosure comes amid rising public tension over economic hardship. It follows the NLC's recent two-day nationwide protest against government policies. The labor leader's statement suggests worker welfare and living wages were the primary demands presented to the president. No immediate outcomes from the meeting were announced.
