NLC says Rivers crisis affecting workers

The Rivers State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress has threatened to take action over the political crisis rocking the state.

The NLC said the crisis is adversely affecting workers in the state.

The state NLC Chairman, Alex Agwanwo, stated this after a joint organised labour meeting in Port Harcourt, the state capital on Saturday.

Agwanwo condemned the plot to distract the state governor from delivering good governance to the state and called on all those involved to stay in action.

He said, “We condemn in totality the crisis in Rivers State and we call for immediate peace between all the political actors involved so that we can have peace and prosperity in the state.

“Honestly, this crisis is not helping us. When two elephants fight the grasses suffer. As workers, we are feeling the impact.

“The state is tensed. Our members are beginning to complain about the uprising and how their welfare is now being delayed.”
