African Labour body blasts FG over rising kidnappings

Nigeria's Federal Government is facing sharp criticism from the African Regional Organisation of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC-Africa) regarding the country's deteriorating security situation.

The continental labor body specifically condemned the persistent abductions of schoolchildren, teachers, and workers across Nigeria. ITUC-Africa stated that these continued kidnappings reflect a significant failure by the government to protect its citizens.

The organization voiced its solidarity with the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT), which has been directly impacted by these security lapses. The statement underscores the widespread concern over the lack of safety and the government's inability to curb the rising tide of insecurity, particularly affecting vulnerable populations like students and educators.
