NLC tasks Oshiomhole on service to workers

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has urged its former president, Adams Oshiomhole, to renew his commitments to Nigerian workers and people.

The NLC said workers’ voices, which Oshiomhole has continued to champion, needed to resonate at the National Assembly, where he is currently a senator-elect, to expand and deepen engagement with the nation’s governance framework.

NLC President, Joe Ajaero, said this when Congress congratulated Oshiomhole on his 71st birthday recently.

Ajaero, who described Oshiomhole as a powerful voice and representative of Nigerian workers, said the history of the trade union movement in Nigeria would not be complete without remembering the exploits and contributions of its former vociferous president.

According to Ajaero, “His past legacy and continuing imprints endure with us both as workers in Nigeria and as trade unions at all levels. The month of April, especially the 4th day reminds all of us at the NLC of the robust and vibrant leadership that was his eight-year tenure in Congress.

“His birthday, therefore, brings to the fore his contributions to our various engagements with the social partners through the various social dialogue mechanisms both locally and internationally.

“Comrade Adams has truly represented the movement vigorously and brilliantly in these various capacities and we are sure that he will continue to be our voice and that of the people in the 10th Senate.”
