Insecurity: NLC warns Buhari, says relocation of AfriCom is counterproductive
The workers umbrella body in Nigeria, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has kicked against President Muhammadu Buhari’s call for relocation of United States African Command from Germany to Africa.
National President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba gave the warning during the NLC peace and security summit with the theme, ‘Overcoming the Siege of Insecurity in Nigeria: Imperative of Human and Physical Security’, on Thursday in Abuja.
Wabba noted that foreign mercenaries were not needed to tackle the spate of insecurity in Nigeria, insisting that adequate support should be offered security agents.
Meanwhile, President Buhari had a marathon meeting with military top brass last week on the heightened insecurity in Nigeria.
The meeting was reportedly adjourned to be reconvened on Tuesday 4th May, 2021.
