Senior Staff Association Backs NLC Nationwide Protest Over Insecurity, Condemns Tinubu Government’s ‘Anti-Poor’ Economic Policies
The Precision, Electrical, and Related Equipment Senior Staff Association (PERESSA) has endorsed the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC)-led nationwide protest, describing it as a necessary response to worsening insecurity and deepening economic hardship across Nigeria. In a statement signed by its National President, Comrade Rufus Olusesan, the union accused the Tinubu-led government of failing in its constitutional duty to protect lives and property, while pursuing neoliberal policies that have pushed workers and the poor into severe hardship. PERESSA cited subsidy removal, electricity tariff hikes, naira floatation, rising energy costs and a proposed new tax regime as measures eroding wages, worsening poverty and fuelling insecurity. The association called for a united labour front involving the NLC, TUC, civil society and progressive groups to resist policies it said favour the elite at the expense of ordinary Nigerians.
