Nigeria Labour Congress – NLC, has dismissed the International Monetary Fund, IMF, denial of any role in Nigeria government’s removal of petrol subsidy and the implementation of other anti-people economic policies, insisting that the body is behind the country’s economic woes.

According to the NLC, the IMF and the World Bank remain the twin forces that have a longstanding pattern of recommending harsh and unworkable economic policies to developing nations.

In a statement, the President of NLC, JOE AJAERO, urged the World Bank and IMF to remove their knees from Nigeria’s necks so that the country can breathe as a nation.
