MAY DAY SOLIDARITY MESSAGES AND GREETINGS

NUBIFIE Sends Greetings To Nigerian Working Class

On behalf of all NUBIFIANS, we wish to convey our collective solidarity and greetings to all the industrial unions in particular and the entire Nigeria working class in general on this occasion of the workers' Day.

We particularly commend the resilience, doggedness and patriotism of workers especially as they are confronted by a most painful capitalist oriented economic reform of the present regime, which has so far succeeded in creating widespread unemployment and poverty in the land.

We wish to thank all industrial unions and the Nigeria Labour Congress for all the support rendered to our union (NUBIFIE) over the years.

Solidarity Forever!

Signed by Lawal A. Ahobi, National President and A.C. Anyanwu, Ag. General Secretary.

Lagos NCP, whose interest is the emancipate of the Nigeria workers through its Ten Care Programme, calls on workers to identify with NCP in order to defeat all other anti-peoples political party (PDP, ANPP, AD, ACD etc.,) and their capitalist neo-liberal policies and enthrone pro-masses government

It also enjoins workers in all parts of the country to be united in the struggle against third term and Obasanjo extending his tenure even by one day. But workers should equally oppose all those anti-peoples forces and their agents e.g. Atiku, Babangida etc. NCP calls for a pro-peoples mass based political formation that comprises NLC, TUC, CFTU, NCP, and pro-masses organisations to challenge the self-serving political parties and individuals for power in order to emancipate the working masses from this oppression, misery and poverty.

If we dare to struggle as workers, we shall definitely win.
