The National Executive Committee of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has named Joe Ajaero as its new president.
Ajaero, who was deputy president of the congress, emerged through a consensus.
Presidential candidate of the Labour party (LP), Mr. Peter Obi, has expressed his intention to work with the newly elected National President of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero.
Ajaero, who until his emergence as president was the deputy national president of the labour union, made history by emerging unopposed as the union’s president.
Obi, a former Governor of Anambra State, disclosed this on Wednesday via his official Twitter handle while congratulating Ajaero.
“A very hearty congratulations to Comrade Joe Ajaero, for emerging unopposed as the new President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC). He has served the Labour Movement well. We look forward to working with him,” he tweeted.
