President Muhammadu Buhari has urged the new president of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joseph Ajaero, to use his position to write a new chapter of progress for all workers and the labour movement in the country.
Buhari, while congratulating Ajaero on his emergence as the NLC President, hailed the National Executive Committee of the union on the success of the congress that produced the new leadership.
The President said this via a statement issued on Wednesday by his spokesman, Garba Shehu.
“After many years of hard work and struggles, the selflessness with which Ajaero dedicated himself today paid off. His journey in the Labour movement has been a remarkable one, marked by many important milestones.

“This victory that emerged from a rancor-free congress is a mark of the strength of democracy in the nation’s labour movement.
“Today, as he rises to the highest position in the NLC, it is our hope and desire that he will use the position to write a new chapter of progress for all workers and the labour movement in the country and the continent in general,” he stated.
President Buhari further expressed hope that Ajaero and his team will continue to be partners to his administration in fulfilling the aspirations of Nigerians.
Buhari, however, congratulated the immediate past NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, for a successful completion of his tenure as the head of the Nigerian workers, wishing him the best in his future undertakings.
