The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to refund allegedly diverted workers’ funds from the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF).
Naija News reports that the resolution was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the NLC Central Working Committee (CWC) meeting held on Wednesday, August 13, 2025, in Abuja.
The NLC also demanded the immediate constitution of the Governing Board of the National Pension Commission (PENCOM).
According to the Labour Union, failure to comply will lead to a nationwide industrial action.
The meeting, presided over by NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, deliberated extensively on issues affecting Nigerian workers, the trade union movement, and the nation at large.
NLC accused the Bola Ahmed Tinubu-led government of neglecting workers’ welfare and undermining pension administration, insisting that the alleged diversion of funds must be addressed without delay.
The NLC also announced the dissolution of its Edo State leadership, citing undisclosed reasons.
“Enough is enough. Nigerian workers will not stand idly by while their sweat and future are stolen,” the communiqué declared.
