The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole has called on the organised labour to challenge political leaders to ensure that state resources meet the needs of workers and other Nigerians.

Oshiomhole made the call in Abuja at a reception in honour of the Director General, International Labour Organisation (ILO), Mr Guy Ryder, NAN reports.

He expressed concern over the nonchalant attitude of leaders towards improving the lives of Nigerian workers, and said the organised labour must adopt aggressive engagements to change the status quo.

While commending the ILO for its focus on Youth Employment and Social Justice, Oshiomhole said attention should also be on ageing population and underemployment of young persons.

He said Nigeria ought to do something about it’s population growth which was at 3 per cent annually, as against 2 percent national economic growth.
