The NLC strike is planned to begin on Tuesday, November 6 and in a statement by Femi Adesina, the President called for calm, saying his administration was doing more with fewer resources.<\/p>\n
The statement read in part: \u201cPresident Buhari also appealed to the Nigeria Labour Congress to consider what this government inherited and the more it is doing with fewer resources in putting the economy right.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe president reassured Nigerians that his administration will sustain massive investments to upgrade and develop the country\u2019s transport and power infrastructure.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said Nigerians will never forget the \u2018\u2018lost opportunity between 1999 and 2015,\u2019\u2019 when the nation had huge resources at its disposal.<\/p>\n
