The convener of Arewa Think Tank, Muhammad Alhaji Yakubu, has faulted what he described because the unfair remedy of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), saying that the federal authorities deserves recognition for its interventions geared toward bettering the welfare of Nigerian staff and atypical residents.
Yakubu stated Thursday that it was unlucky that organised labour appeared extra keen on criticising the president than acknowledging and speaking the quite a few interventions being undertaken by his administration to cushion the financial difficulties confronting Nigerians.
He particularly cited the federal authorities’s provision of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) buses to organised labour, alongside monetary help for fuelling, as proof that the Tinubu administration had not deserted Nigerian staff.
The Arewa Think Tank convener spoke in opposition to the backdrop of the disagreement between NLC president, Comrade Joe Ajaero, and his TUC counterpart, Comrade Festus Osifo, over the federal authorities’s interventions and the whereabouts and utilisation of buses allotted to the labour organisations.
Yakubu said that it was unfair for labour leaders to repeatedly heap blames on President Tinubu with out giving ample consideration to the constructive steps being taken by the federal authorities.
