NLC Clarifies TUC's Non-Involvement in FG Meeting
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) issued a clarification regarding the absence of the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) from a meeting with the Federal Government held on October 22, 2026. The NLC stated that the TUC neither issued an ultimatum to the government nor participated in the dialogue, correcting media reports that inaccurately linked the TUC to the ultimatum and the meeting.
The statement, signed by Acting General Secretary Comrade Benson Upah, noted that while representatives from the TUC's Joint Health Workers Union of Nigeria (JOHESU) and Joint Public Service Negotiating Council (JPSNC) attended, the TUC itself was not present. The NLC emphasized that it was the only major national labor center involved in the discussions and urged the media and public to accurately report the parties involved.
The clarification aimed to prevent misrepresentation of the TUC's role in the engagement with the Federal Government.
