The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress has said that the attack on the United Nations’ building on Friday is a wake-up call on the Federal Government to give more serious attention to security issues in the country.
The NLC, in a statement by its acting general secretary, Mr. Owei Lakemfa, condemned the attack.
He said that the blast could only have been plotted and executed by people who had lost their minds, stressing that the congress was in shock over the incident.
Lakemfa said that the sympathy of Nigerian workers was with those who lost their relatives in the incident.
He said, “The NLC is shocked beyond words by the bombing of the UN building in Abuja, which houses 26 UN organisations in Nigeria.
“This incomprehensible act of bestial terrorism against humanity could only have been carried out by people who have lost their minds.
“Nigerian workers mourn with humanity, this tragic loss of precious lives. We condole with the families of the victims.
“This attack is a wakeup call on the Nigerian government to take security matters much more seriously.”
