The National Union of Textile, Garment and Tailoring Workers of Nigeria has called on all Labour unions to unite for the common good of the movement in Nigeria.
The general secretary of the union, Mr Issa Aremu, made the call in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Kaduna.
He noted that the current division in the labour movement over fuel hike will spell doom for the unions.
“If we operate separately, we will be defeated separately but if we operate in unity, we will triumph as one,” the statement read.
“The recent 70 percent fuel increase is indiscriminate in its impact on transport cost and cost of living in general.
“The response of organised labour must, therefore, be inclusive and uniform, not disjointed as we recently witnessed.”
Aremu said that labour unions must reinvent themselves and return to the vibrant movement they used to be.
