The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) leadership directed all workers on Wednesday to picket all Central Bank of Nigeria offices nationwide beginning next week in protest of the country’s current cash crisis.
The directive was issued by NLC President Joe Ajaero during a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.
The labor leader stated that the directive became necessary after the apex bank’s one-week deadline to make cash available to Nigerians expired.
The NLC last week gave the CBN and commercial banks a one week ultimatum to make naira notes available to workers and Nigerians.
The organisation said it would direct workers to stay at home if the apex bank failed to make the naira notes available to Nigerians.
