The Workers' Rights Campaign (WRC) has berated the organised labour for accepting false promises from the Nigerian government instead and suspending the nationwide strike. The WRC on Friday in a release added that the “lives of labour union bureaucrats” should not be considered more important than the lives of the working people in Nigeria and hence, the brutalisation of Comrade Joe Agero shouldn't have been the sole trigger for the strike or its suspension.
The Socialist Workers and Youth League (SWL) group has condemned an alleged attack on some commercial drivers in Lagos State under the aegis of the Joint Drivers Welfare Association of Nigeria (JDWAN) by hoodlums working for the Lagos State government. The group in a statement by its Chairperson, Frances Akinjole, and Secretary, Kelvin Ayemhenre, called for an immediate prosecution of those involved in the act. It added that one Ashimiyu Idowu, a leading member of JDWN, was also abducted by the hoodlums on Monday.
