The NLC had previously staged a two-day nationwide strike earlier in the month to protest the government’s inability to provide lasting solutions to the issues arising from the removal of fuel subsidies.

The union alleged that the government had not implemented some of the resolutions from their prior meetings.

The initial invitation for talks by the minister was extended to both the NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) to prevent the two-day strike, which took place on September 5th and 6th. However, only the TUC participated in the meeting, according to Mr. Lalong.

During the Monday meeting, Commissioner Owohunwa expressed the government’s willingness to collaborate with the union to address their demands, acknowledging the critical role played by the NLC in advocating for workers’ rights and welfare.

In response, Mr. Ajaero expressed a sense of cautious optimism but noted that past meetings had failed to produce positive outcomes. He highlighted that the strikes were a result of worker frustration caused by the hardships stemming from the fuel subsidy removal, with none of the government’s agreements being addressed.

A series of key issues, including the use of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), refinery operation, wage awards, and cash transfers, were mentioned, with no progress in addressing any of these concerns.

Another meeting has been scheduled for a later date to continue discussions.

ADC Hails NBA Intervention, Urges INEC To Remain Neutral In Party Leadership Crisis.

Published

on

The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has welcomed the intervention of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) in its ongoing leadership dispute, describing the legal body’s position as a validation of its long-standing claims of judicial abuse.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

In a statement signed by Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, the party said the NBA’s caution against forum shopping and abuse of court processes supports its stance that attempts to challenge its leadership in court are legally flawed.

The ADC said the NBA had clarified that courts do not have jurisdiction over internal affairs of political parties and that seeking interim or interlocutory orders in such matters contravenes the Electoral Act.

According to the party, this position aligns with its belief that the legal process is being manipulated for political purposes rather than genuine dispute resolution.

It described the situation as a coordinated attempt to weaponise the judiciary, which the NBA had reportedly condemned as abuse of court process driven by forum shopping and malicious litigation.

The ADC further linked the crisis to broader political tensions, alleging that it reflects anxiety within the ruling party amid insecurity, economic hardship, and declining public trust ahead of the 2027 elections.

The party warned that any court orders obtained contrary to due process would be legally defective and unenforceable.

While commending the NBA for urging disciplinary action against erring legal practitioners and judicial officers, the ADC called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to remain strictly neutral.

It stressed that INEC must not take any action that could legitimise what it described as unlawful judicial interference in party affairs.

The party added that the matter goes beyond internal politics and concerns the integrity of Nigeria’s democracy, vowing to pursue all lawful means to defend its position.
