NLC Chieftain Explains Why It Can't Tackle Corruption
Joe Ajaero, the Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour
Congress, NLC, has said the union cannot tackle corruption in the
country because it lacks the right mechanism.
Speaking to newsmen in Abuja on Tuesday, October 14, Ajaero said the union was yet to partner with law enforcement agencies especially the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on the situation, The Nation reports.
He said: “We have not really institutionalized a mechanism to insist on probing a person found to have corruptly enriched himself. Labour can think in that line. And for us to do that, we don’t have the police or the EFCC. It may end at the level of agitation. You know also that this has legal limitation because the law says nobody is guilty until proven otherwise. That is a limitation. We can quantify morally that this person is guilty, but if there is no clear case of corruption, we are limited.”
Emphasizing the need for the NLC to adopt a credible and efficient method of recruiting comrades into the union, Ajaero pointed out that it was a necessary for NLC to take part in the fight against corruption.
