The Organised Labour says Nigerian workers are opposed to any reform that seeks to scrap the local government system from the Constitution. xThe President, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr Ayuba Wabba, said this on Monday in Abuja, in a statement, he jointly signed with President, Trade Union Congress (TUC), Mr Quadri Olaleye. “It is unfortunate that in spite of the plague of insecurity confronting our country, some politicians are working hard to scrap the local government system. “Instead of scrapping the local government councils, we call on the government to improve access to local economic centres,” he said. The NLC president also drew the government’s attention to the poor state of Apapa-Oshodi-Wharf road and the consequent gridlock.
