The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) yesterday asked the Federal Government to go back to the Vision 2020 document and other policies for solutions to challenges facing the nation.
Speaking at the First NLC Youth Summit in Abuja, its President, Ayuba Wabba, said the Vision 2020 document and others gathering dust in government shelves could pull the country out of the crisis.
According to him, the Vision 2020 document envisaged the problems and provided solutions, stressing that it is, however, worrisome when government is seeking solutions elsewhere.
The NLC president advocated youth participation in labour activities, adding that the congress decided to set up a youth wing to give strength to labour activism.
He said the congress lost a position at the global labour youth level because it lacked a functional youth wing, adding: “The candidate we presented was adjudged over-aged”.
He said the congress would encourage state councils and industrial unions to set up wings.
