The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has rejected Federal Government planned enforcement of COVID-19 vaccination on workers and Nigerians.
The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, expressed labour position while
unveiling the COVID-19 vaccination Advisory for the Federal Civil
Servants on Monday in Abuja.
It would be recalled that the federal government said it would enforce
COVID-19 vaccination amongst its workers effective from Dec. 1.
Wabba said though the efficacy of vaccines for the control of COVID-19
had been scientifically proven, the federal government should use the
tool of persuasion rather than force to get workers and the general public
to take it.
Wabba however noted that the COVID-19 pandemic had brought some
of the biggest strains, stress and squeeze to the workplace, adding that
thousands of workers had died from the disease.
