The NLC is not a political party. The NLC can go on strike or protest if the rights of NLC members are involved. What the NLC is planning in the next two days is about interest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no dispute whatsoever between NLC as a body with the federal government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell yes, that\u2019s a dispute between some members of NLC, ASUU, and the federal government which is being looked into. And NLC itself is a party to the committee that is looking into the solution. So, calling out people on street protest you begin to wonder, what is the motive of NLC in this matter?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you see here, we do not interrogate what NLC is doing. NLC by its own laws cannot even give out pamphlets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd NLC is supposed to be completely insulated from politics. Now, if you declare dispute with us, yes you can go on strike. Even that one would depend on whether certain steps have been taken or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut this particular NLC, you know, asking and mobilising people to come out on strike on July 26, and July 27, is clearly on nothing, \u201d Mr Mohammed said.<\/p>\n<p>Also commenting on the threat by aviation unions to shut down airports in solidarity with ASUU, the Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, expressed concern about the threat.<\/p>\n<p>He, however, assured the public that \u201cthe threat will not be carried out because aviation authorities are already talking to the union.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m naturally concerned about this if the aviation union will shut down in support of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/07\/21\/presidency-asuu-strike-can-end-soon-if\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ASUU<\/a>. I would say they have no need to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will say also that we should begin to look at civil aviation as a critical national security enterprise. It has all the implications.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe should not contemplate or think about an aviation disaster. We should also think about the general activity on the economy of Nigeria without civil aviation..<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it should be reconsidered. So, civil aviation workers, I think should not be part of this.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I am concerned and yes we\u2019ve spoken to them and I don\u2019t think they will join because they know that there\u2019s huge responsibility of lives on their heads.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The federal government has declared the proposed Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) protest in solidarity with the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) as illegal.
