The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has warned against any attempt to disrupt the payment of salaries to workers in Rivers State.
The warning was made on Friday by NLC President Joe Ajaero while speaking at a National Executive Council meeting in the state.
Ajaero said the NLC would not remain silent if their livelihoods were threatened. He assured workers that the union would resist any effort to delay or block salary payments, stressing that prompt and consistent payment is a right that should not be compromised.
This statement comes days after a Federal High Court issued an order barring the Central Bank of Nigeria and other financial institutions from releasing state funds to the Rivers State Government.
Ajaero also directed a message to the judiciary, urging it to avoid making decisions that could harm the welfare of the workforce.
