The Central Working Committee of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) had on Thursday resolved to stage a national day of protest against the Minister, whom they said was no longer fit to head the Ministry having invited thugs to attack them.
President of the Union, Comrade Ayuba Wabba said the protest had nothing to do with the NSITF board but to protest against the action of the Minister against the workers.
