On May 3, 1960, the foundations of what would become the Nigeria Labour Congress were laid, unifying various labor movements under a common banner. The NLC would grow to become the largest labor organization in Africa, advocating for workers’ rights, economic justice, and democracy. The creation of the NLC reflected the broader push for national dignity and independence from colonial and neocolonial economic systems, serving as a model for worker solidarity movements across the African continent.
