 Nigeria Labour Congress Demands Reversal of Rivers State Suspension, Economic Reforms on May Day


The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have called on President Bola Tinubu to immediately reverse what they describe as the unconstitutional suspension of Rivers State’s elected government through a state of emergency. The demand was made by NLC President Joe Ajaero and TUC President Festus Osifo during the 2025 May Day celebration at Eagle Square, Abuja.


The labour leaders condemned actions by federal and state governments that undermine civic space, urging authorities to deepen democratic accountability through transparent governance, electoral reforms, and an end to the suppression of dissent. They also demanded an immediate halt to what they termed “genocidal killings and bloodletting” across Nigeria, emphasizing that the government’s primary responsibility is to ensure the safety of lives and property.


On economic issues, organised labour called for the withdrawal of proposed tax bills before the National Assembly, arguing that the legislation, crafted without input from the NLC and TUC, unfairly burdens workers while sparing wealthy individuals and corporations. Labour insisted on being included in discussions regarding the bills to ensure fair representation.


The unions further demanded a reduction in the recent telecommunications tariff hike from 50% to 35%, alongside an immediate salary adjustment to reflect current economic realities. Other demands included the prompt payment of outstanding allowances, pensions, and gratuities nationwide, the restoration of gratuity payments, an upward review of the retirement age, and automatic pension adjustments to account for inflation.


Labour’s demands come amid growing concerns over economic hardship and governance challenges, with the unions urging the government to prioritize workers’ welfare and national stability.
