Nigeria Labour Congress
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is an umbrella organization for trade unions in Nigeria.

This was used as a justification to ban all four centres, with M. O. Abiodun appointed as the administrator of trade unions.

The Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) is a national trade union federation in Nigeria, focusing on unions representing senior staff. History In 1978, trade unions in Nigeria were restructured into 42 industrial unions, and 19 unions representing senior staff.
