Buhari Congratulates New NLC Boss, Ajaero

President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Joe Ajaero on his emergence as the new president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).

Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media  disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja.

Quoting the President in the congratulatory message, Buhari also hailed the National Executive Committee of the NLC for conducting a hitch-free congress that produced the new leadership.

“After many years of hard work and struggles, the selflessness with which Ajaero dedicated himself today paid off. His journey in the Labour movement has been a remarkable one, marked by many important milestones.”

President Buhari said Ajaero’s victory that emerged from a rancor-free congress is a mark of the strength of democracy in the nation’s labour movement.

“Today, as he rises to the highest position in the NLC, it is our hope and desire that he will use the position to write a new chapter of progress for all workers and the labour movement in the country and the continent in general.”

The president also expressed the hope that Ajaero and his team would continue to be partners to the administration in fulfilling the aspirations of Nigerian people.

The President also congratulated Comrade Ayuba Wabba for a successful completion of his eight-year tenure as the head of Nigerian workers, wishing him the best in his future undertakings.

He wished the new executive body a successful tenure.
