The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria(TUC)  has  vowed to  mobilise Nigerians  and resist sale or concession  of the Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas Company Ltd. (NLNG) and  the country’s airports.
President of the union, Comrade Bobboi Kaigama, said the action was necessary because the concession of the assets would not augur well for workers and generality of Nigerians in the current economic recession.
He said: “These are critical assets which expectedly should be bequeathed to generations unborn. It is our thinking that if those clamouring for the sales pay their appropriate taxes there would be enough money to bring the country out of the woods without sacrificing our national assets.
“In case those canvassing for the sale have forgotten, it is imperative that they realise that this administration promised to create a minimum of three million jobs yearly. Unfortunately, instead of generation of more jobs, no less than four million jobs have been lost in the last one and half years, a development that has led to serious security issues.
He said that all  over the world the oil and gas and aviation industries are viable ventures if well managed.
