COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF AN EMERGENCY MEETING OF CONCERNED WORKERS IN IBADAN ON JUNE 10, 2019.
Rising from an emergency convergence of concerned workers, the Nigerian workers after intensively considering various situations in the country especially as it concerns the horrible spate of massive killings, the unimaginable pace of suicide , the high level of insecurity all over , the prevailing hopelessness among our people viz-a-viz massive unemployment and poor national economy. The convergence is also worried about the delay in the implementation of the new national minimum wage,the unending social tension , extreme poverty facing the populace and poor governance at all levels.
The position of the convergence is that Nigeria is at drift and highly endangered,the national situation has shown itself to be a disaster and Nigerians are being wasted endlessly, with no hope for a reprieve . Governance is at its lowest ebb and the country is moving like a sheep without a shepherd.
Painfully, the response from the masses have been very nauseating ,the people have continued to show lack of sufficient social response in the prevailing circumstances. Of worry is the uninspiring attitude of labour leaders towards the multifarious challenges bedevilling the country.
We the Nigerian workers are therefore disturbed that if nothing urgent is done to correct these anomalies, Nigeria risks imminent collapse.Hence, we the Nigerian workers resolve as follows that :
1. We will no longer tolerate the mindless massacre going on in Nigeria.
2. President Buhari should immediately stop the pace of killings in the country or in the alternative tender his resignation.
3.Labour movement in Nigeria should lead Nigerians towards a social renewal.
4. The Nigerian Labour Congress ( NLC) , Trade Union Congress (TUC ) and the United Labour Congress (ULC) should call workers out for a national protest, if after 14 days ,the killings continue unabated.
5. By 30th June 2019, if workers have not received the new national minimum wage, then Labour should direct workers to proceed on an indefinite nationwide strike action.
6. Nigerians should be more proactive in developing a culture of protest against societal ills
7. Nigerians should get ready to take their destiny in their hands as governance in Nigeria has failed.
In Solidarity,
Comrade Emelieze Andrew
National Coordinator
