The Federal Government of Nigeria has granted the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) permission to use Eagle Square in Abuja for the annual May Day celebration.
The announcement was made by the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, in a statement signed by the Ministry’s Director of Press and Public Relations, Olajide Oshundun.
This comes after the NLC had earlier announced that the permit granted to them to use Eagle Square had been withdrawn by the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) for reasons related to the preparation of the venue for the May 29 inauguration of President-elect, Bola Tinubu.
However, after contacting the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Muhammad Bello, Ngige was informed that the permit was withdrawn by overzealous officials of the FCDA, acting without his authority.
Ngige further revealed that the NLC had been asked to go ahead with its preparation for the workers’ day celebration at the Eagle Square, which is expected to be attended by the President, ministers, other top government officials, and diplomatic missions.
In his statement, Ngige assured everyone invited to the celebration that they were welcome, including the Nigeria Employers Consultative Association, diplomatic missions, international organizations, organized labor and affiliate unions, and members of the public.
The Minister of Labour and Employment also extended apologies to the leadership of organized labor led by Comrade Joe Ajaero for the unintended embarrassment occasioned by the action of the FCDA officials who misinterpreted the general intention and work plan of the renovation of the Eagle Square.
