    Nigeria At 64: NLC Cautions FG Against Circumventing Democratic Principles

    In celebration of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Anniversary, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has cautioned the Federal Government to use the occasion to reset its democratic ethos, saying the government should not continue to circumvent the principles of democracy in the country.

    In a statement by its President Joe Ajaero to workers and other Nigerians on the country’s 64th Independence anniversary, the congress stressed that it was sad that “the leading political elite are not ready to do the right thing”. 

    The statement reads: “On the occasion of Nigeria’s 64th independence anniversary celebration, we congratulate all Nigerians, especially the workers, for their sacrifice, resilience or robust spirit, despite serial acts of betrayal of monumental proportions by the political leadership at various times and levels.

    “We urge downtrodden Nigerians who bear the marks or burden of these broken promises, exploitation and corruption to not give up hope on their country. 

    “In light of the fact that their sacrifice has been taken for granted for so long, they should learn to protest within the limits of the law against injustices and subversion of democratic norms, culture, and values by the dominant political elite.

    “It should be apparent to the citizenry that the leading political elite are not ready to do the right thing except they are compelled to do so.

    “In the same vein, we would like to sound a note of caution to our political elite whose preoccupation is to circumvent the principles and practice of popular democracy that undermining our democratic institutions can no longer be business as usual.

    “The consequences of their acts of commission or omission brought us this far. It is time to turn a new leaf. Let it be the beginning of a new low.”

    Meanwhile, the telecommunications giants, Globacom, has saluted Nigerians’ industry, commitment, passion, and diligence in its 64th Independence anniversary message to the nation.

    The company noted that the passion, patriotism, industry, resilience, and enterprising spirit of Nigerians over the years are values that have kept the country going despite its challenges.

    The company hailed compatriots who have continuously brought honour and fame to the country in various fields of human endeavour, saying: “There is no area of human endeavour that you will not find an outstanding Nigerian making waves globally.

    “We all must imbibe the spirit of excellence, commitment, hard work and vigilance in order to make the country fly higher.”

    On their own, the management of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) Plc yesterday assured its customers of improved power delivery and service.

    In a statement by its Acting Managing Director Francis Agoha, the company emphasised its unwavering dedication to the nation’s growth and development.

    “As we celebrate Nigeria’s independence, it is vital to uphold the principles of integrity, hard work, and patriotism.

    “Electricity is the backbone of any nation’s economy, and IBEDC remains committed to powering Nigeria’s progress by delivering services that enhance lives and support economic growth,” Agoha said.
