NLC directs workers to shutdown CBN offices nationwide


The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has   instructed all workers to picket all offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria across the country from next week  due to the current cash crunch in the country. 

 NLC President Joe Ajaero issued the directive during a press conference in Abuja today .    The  directive came in the wake  of a one-week ultimatum issued to the Central Bank to make cash available to Nigerians.

  Last week,  NLC   issued a one-week ultimatum to the CBN and commercial banks  to make naira notes accessible to  Nigerians.  

The Labour body warned that   it would instruct employees to remain at home if the Central Bank failed to provide Nigerians with naira notes.
