Joe Ajaero, the president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has affirmed that they will not be swayed by distractions from any source.
Ajaero made this statement after being questioned at the Police Intelligence Response Team (IRT) office in Abuja on Thursday in relation to allegations of terrorism financing and other offenses.
Accompanied by Deputy Lead Counsel Maxwell Opara from Falana & Falana’s Chambers and other lawyers, Ajaero reiterated that the union is committed to fighting for the implementation of the recently agreed-upon N70,000 minimum wage by the federal government.
He said, “What is important is the circumstances that took me to that place and whatever it is we are out to continue the struggle. We have gotten minimum wage which has not been implemented so we have to press for its implementation as soon as possible.
“Every other thing that will make the welfare of Nigeria workers worthwhile, we will be involved in it.
“We will not listen to any distraction. On behalf of the NLC, NAC, NEC and CWC for the level of solidarity they have shown here, I want to say thank you.”
