The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has waded into the issue of a corps member who allegedly got threatened by officials of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) for criticising the President Bola Tinubu administration.
TUC President, Festus Osifo, in a statement on Sunday said that the corps member spoke out of frustration, advising the government not to go after her but to be tolerant of critics.
The TUC boss, however, advised critics to air their grievances to the government within the expected norm and with some level of decorum.
The Lagos-based NYSC member, Ushie Uguamaye, had taken to TikTok to criticise the government over hardship citizens are facing as a result of the administration’s economic reforms.
Her video went viral and got the attention of NYSC officials whom she later accused of calling her and issuing a threat to her to delete the video.
NYSC is yet to release an official statement regarding the issue.
