…Says, “We can’t keep suffering because of this misrule”
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Rivers State Chapter, has ordered all civil servants in the State to sit at home if the scarcity of fuel and naira persists as of yesterday.
Reports said the NLC chairperson in the State, Beatrice Itubo, gave the directive while briefing newsmen, saying, We have declared a sit-at-home for all workers from Monday till further notice if the fuel crisis and crazy transportation fare hike continues”.
Mrs. Itubo, who is the governorship candidate of the Labour Party in Rivers, said the action was not targeted at anyone or the state government.
Her directives came hours after the presidential candidate of the Labour party, Peter Obi, in a post on Twitter at the weekend, urged Nigerians to be patient with the CBN over the currency-swap policy, which he said Nigerians would soon harvest its benefits.
Many Nigerians have criticised the CBN and the federal government over the policy, which has brought hardship because of the scarcity of the redesigned naira notes.
