Naira Scarcity: Nigeria Labour Congress Orders Workers To Occupy CBN Offices Nationwide

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has instructed workers in the country to occupy all the offices of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) nationwide starting from next week.

The NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, gave this directive at a press conference in Abuja on Wednesday.

He held that the shutdown of CBN offices became necessary due to the naira scarcity and the attendant challenges it has brought to the way of Nigerians.

This directive was coming following the expiration of one-week ultimatum given to the apex bank and the commercial banks in the country to make cash available for Nigerians.

The NLC leader said workers would be directed to stay at home if the CBN failed to make the naira notes available to Nigerians.
