To protest against the anti-workers policies of Kaduna Governor, Nasir el-Rufai, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has slated Thursday, January 11 for another workers mass rally/protest to compel the government to recant its stand over the sack of more than 21, 000 primary teachers by the state government.
The NLC, in a notice by its General Secretary, Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, stated that the National Executive Council of the union was organizing the rally/protest against anti-workers policies of Governor Nasir el-Rufai.
The notice sent to different labour unions under the NLC asked the unions to mobilize to Kaduna for the rally/protest.
“Your union is requested to mobilize at least 500 workers to the rally. The rally is expected to be massive and reflect the true displeasure of the Labour Movement in Nigeria with the anti-labour policies and stance of the Kaduna State governor.
“The rally will commence at 9 a.m from NLC Secretariat, 1, Lafia Road, by Independence Way, Kaduna,” the NLC said.
Already, public secondary and primary schools in Kaduna State began indefinite strike Monday this week in protest against the sack of the teachers.
