In a statement commemorating Nigeria’s 64th Independence Day, Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) President Joe Ajaero urged Nigerians not to lose hope in the face of broken promises, exploitation, and widespread corruption.
Ajaero acknowledged the challenges faced by the nation but commended Nigerian workers for their enduring sacrifice, resilience, and strong spirit, even amidst betrayals by the political class.
The NLC leader emphasized the importance of staying hopeful and continuing to push for positive change, despite the many obstacles the country has faced.
“We urge the downtrodden Nigerians who bear the marks or burden of these broken promises, exploitation and corruption to not give up hope on their country,” said the NLC president.
His comments come as Nigeria is set to celebrate its liberation from colonialism on October 1, 1960.
However, post-independence, Nigerians have been beleaguered by high inflation, energy costs, infrastructural deficits, lack of adequate electricity supply, and naira crisis at the foreign exchange markets without lasting solutions.
