The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) in Bauchi have distanced themselves from participating in the planned nationwide protest to end hunger and hardship in the country.
Bauchi NLC Chairman, Comrade Dauda Shuaibu, told journalists on Thursday that the organised labour has constitutional means of addressing grievances and would strictly stick to it.
He insisted that the union would not participate in the scheduled protest.
Comrade Shuiabu acknowledged the difficulties facing the citizens due to the biting economic crisis but urged members to remain law-abiding.
He encouraged the members of the union to report to their various places of work, rather than engaging in the protest.
It would be recalled that the organised labour agreed to a N70,000 new National Minimum Wage with the Federal Government.
Similarly, the National Assembly passed the new National Minimum Wage bill early this week. Currently, the bill awaits the assent of President Bola Tinubu to become a law and implementation.
