The attention of Army Headquarters has been drawn to a false breaking news by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) alleging that soldiers currently surround the venue of the ongoing meeting between NLC and the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
The Nigerian Army has clarified that the National Security Adviser (NSA), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who is also attending the meeting, arrived at the venue with his retinue of statutorily approved military escorts. Once the meeting concludes, the escorts will lead the NSA from the venue.
The Army urges the public to disregard the deliberate and misleading falsehood being peddled about the presence of the escorts at the meeting. The presence of these military personnel is solely for the protection of the NSA and is in line with standard security protocols.
Stay tuned for further updates on the outcome of the NLC-SGF meeting.
