NLC Withdraws Members In Osun Local Govts
The Osun State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress has directed its members working in local government areas across the state to withdraw their services, effective Monday (tomorrow).
In a statement signed by its chairman, Dr Christopher Arapasopo, and dated Sunday, February 16, 2025, the NLC said it had observed the ongoing political unrest, which has caused agitation and fear among its members working in local government offices.
The statement reads, “The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has noticed the political uproar bringing agitations and fear among our members working within the Local Government Areas across the state. The NLC is apolitical, but we won’t allow our members to work in an atmosphere of insecurity.
We urge all the political parties and their members to abide by the rule of law. We insist on the rule of law to avoid a descent to anarchy. In furtherance to this, we hereby direct all our members working in all the LGAs in Osun State to withdraw their services effective Monday, 17th February, 2025 by 12am (midnight).
“We won’t allow our members to retum until their safety at work can be assured and guaranteed, which is their constitutional right.
“We hereby call on all security agencies to ensure the safety of all lives and properties within Osun State Local Governments and the public in general.
The NLC Osun State remains committed to defending the rights, welfare, and safety of all its members.”
