The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has blamed inconsistent policies of the Federal Government for the rapid closure of industries in the country.
President of Congress, Ayuba Wabba, who stated this at the opening of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of NLC in Sokoto, posited that it is impossible for any country to develop without industries.
He explained that nearly all the productive industries in Nigeria, especially those in the manufacturing sector have closed down while some relocated to neighbouring countries especially in the West Africa sub region.
He added: Some of the factors that have led to the collapse of industries include consistent increases in the price of petroleum products, lack of regular public electricity and general infrastructural decay.”
