The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has quashed reports that it reconsidered its decision concerning the ongoing protests against economic hardship in the country.
In a statement on Friday evening, August 2, the NLC also refuted claims that it suspended the demonstration.
TheNGblog recalls that in July, the NLC clarified that it was not the organiser of the nationwide hunger protest that started on Thursday, August 1.
At the time, the union responded to reports which made the rounds that it pulled out of the national protest.
On Friday, August 2, 2024, two different reports surfaced. While one claimed that the labour union announced the suspension of the protest, another said the NLC ‘reconsidered’ its stance on the protest.
Now the NLC has officially responded to the rumours.
