The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) said at the weekend that it has no planned mass action or street protest in the country, for now, stressing that it is not in league with any group whatsoever for any mass action in any part of the country.

According to its president, Mr Quadri Olaleye, there are no issues in contention with any public authority that has not been subjected to social dialogue that would now require extra-ordinary means or action to resolve.

“If such issues arise, the labour centre will go through its internal mechanism to procure authority for such an action, bearing in mind that its organs must be properly briefed and thorough debates will undertaken before the organs can give approval. In this case, no issue has arisen, no organ has been summoned, and no debate has been undertaken, therefore no such decisions have been taken,” he said.

The union said it held the opinion that any group or groups reserved the right to express themselves in any manner they deem fit taking into cognisance the laws of the land.

“TUC remains committed to the corporate existence of this country in which all manner of people enjoy the right of citizenship,” he stated.
