Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has warned that the combination of heavy taxation, low wages and rising national debt posed a serious threat to Nigeria’s economic and democratic stability.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero,accused the government of excluding workers and the poor from critical policy decisions that directly affected their lives.
Ajaero said that “The federal government must immediately and fully constitute the National Pension Commission PenCom’s Board and address the concerns of Nigerians on the tax law.
He also asked the federal government to urgently rethink the new tax laws and re-engage organised labour.
