Chairman of Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, Kwara State council, North Central Nigeria Comrade Saheed Murtala Olayinka, has called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to look for capable hands to handle the economy and security apparatus in the country.
In an interview with newsmen at the Labour House, Ilorin, on Tuesday shortly after the end of the first day nationwide planned protest by Nigerian workers, Olayinka said there are brilliant and intelligent Nigerians who can change the narrative of the economy.
“Look for people who know the job and give them the privilege and opportunity to serve the government.
“Every second, prices of goods and services continue to increase and the naira too continues to fall, while workers on fixed income continue to suffer,”he said.
He urged the Federal Government to work more on security and tighten the loopholes.
Chairman of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Kwara State council, Abdullateef Ahmed, earlier in a vote of thanks, described the current socio-economic situation as unacceptable generally.
The workers, led by the state chairman of NLC and other union leaders, marched peacefully to the Governor’s Office, Ilorin, under the watchful eyes of police officers and returned to the Labour House on the first day of the protest.
