The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has challenged the federal and state governments to wake up to their duty of securing the nation and the people.

The NLC, leading affiliate unions in a street protest in Adamawa State on Wednesday, said no Nigerian is safe anywhere.

President of the Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, Comrade Muhammad Ibrahim, who represented the NLC President at the Yola protest, said, “Our students are not safe; our farmers are not secured; we can’t sleep in our homes.”

He added that while many families lose their loved ones to kidnappers because they have no money for ransom, some other families sell all they possess to pay ransom and then slip into greater socio-economic vulnerability in a country where the level of poverty is already very high.

He stressed that the scourge of insecurity is tearing the nation apart, adding, “Government at all levels must wake up to their primary responsibility of securing our people.”
