NLC pays tribute to Buhari.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has paid tribute to former President Buhari, describing him as a patriotic leader who prioritized the country and its people. 

NLC President, Joe Ajaero, acknowledged Buhari's complex legacy, noting that while he had a tumultuous relationship with workers during his military rule, he made efforts to support workers during his civilian presidency.

Highlighting Buhari's efforts to support workers, including ensuring no layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic and providing financial assistance to state governments to clear salary and pension arrears, Ajaero also noted that Buhari resisted pressure to sell off refineries or devalue the naira, demonstrating his commitment to protecting the country's interests.

The NLC commiserated with Buhari's family and prayed for his peaceful repose, describing Buhari as a leader who "put the country first no matter the cost" and gave his best to the country.
