LABOUR leaders Monday explained why the Nigeria Labour Congress – NLC, opted for a consensus arrangement in picking its next president.
The General Secretary of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), Joe Ajaero, looked good to succeed Ayuba Wabba as NLC President, barring any last-minute change.
Ajaero, a Deputy NLC National President, is the only candidate for the position of president going into today’s and tomorrow’s delegates conference of the Congress.
The conference is expected to be capped with the election of national officers that will drive the affairs of Nigerian workers in the next four years.
President of the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporation, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Services Employees (AUPCTRE), Benjamin Anthony said they agreed on a consensus arrangement to avoid a repeat of what happened at the March 2015 National Delegates Conference (NDC) in Abuja.
