Strike: Army Dispels NLC’s Claim Soldiers Surrounding Venue Of Meeting With SGF
“Kindly disregard the deliberate and misleading falsehood”
The Nigerian Army has dispeled the claims by organised labour that soldiers have taken over the venue of the meeting with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume on how to end the nationwide strike with how much minimum wage workers should get as highlight.
In reacting to the claims by the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Army Headquarters responded with….
“The attention of Army Headquarters has been drawn to a false breaking news by NLC alleging that soldiers currently surround the venue of the ongoing meeting between NLC and the SGF.
Kindly note that the NSA, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who is also attending the meeting, arrived at the meeting venue with his retinue of statutorily approved military escorts. Once the meeting is over, the escorts will lead the NSA from the venue .
Kindly disregard the deliberate and misleading falsehood being peddled about the presence of the escorts at the meeting.”.
The Nigerian Army posted its reaction on its verified social media handle.
