Former Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu has urged the Nigerian Labour Congress to avert it’s planned nationwide strike in the interest of the nation’s economy, stating the times are difficult for Nigerians and any contrary action will affect citizens.

Senator Kalu made this applead in his Facebook page over the weekend.

He said “I sincerely appeal to the Nigerian Labour Congress( NLC) not to ridicule the economy with their proposed strike. It is a difficult time for all Nigerians, both the rich and the poor. I am an employer of labour and I know that things are difficult. Even the President knows that things are difficult. I implore the NLC to give the new government some time”.

According to him, the government is working hard to revive the economy and the NLC should not further destroy the economy by going on strike. Let’s please exercise some patience with the new government.
