The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has demanded the immediate sack of the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi for his anti-labour comments.
Making the call in a statement signed by its National President, Abdulwaheed Omar, said:
“It is obvious Sanusi was never qualified for the office of CBN
governor in the first instance, and he must be asked to leave the office
as he has shown more than enough incompetence and contempt for the
Nigerian people. We see in Sanusi an agent of death that must be defeated and crushed before he further destroys the Nigerian economy”.
The NLC President further said the CBN Governor has failed to implement policies that have benefitted the Nigerian people and the economy since assuming office.
“Since assumption of office as the Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria, all Sanusi’s major pronouncements have been either directly
anti people or ruinous to the Nigerian economy. And we need to ask Sanusi how much work he has successfully done in
the CBN to reposition it to contemporary realities? He is surrounded
with countless aides that are obviously not required by a man who
believes that the Nigerian economy runs too high on overhead cost”.
Labour also berated the bank chief’s call for the scrapping of the
third tier of government claiming it is a pivotal part of the federal
system of government that Nigeria is operating. Saying however, that increased funding will boost the operations of local government areas.
“The truth, which Sanusi as a beneficiary is
running away from, is that corruption has become a real burden on the
economy and it should be the only priority item on the table of any
serious government. Even if you sack all the workers in Nigeria, any
amount saved from that will be stolen and the culprits will walk in
freedom”.
