Kebbi State Governor Nasir Idris has urged the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to maintain unity as it prepares to elect new national leadership. During a courtesy visit to the Government House, Idris warned the union against any attempts to fracture its cohesion, emphasizing that solidarity is crucial for the Congress's credibility.

He also called on the outgoing NLC leadership to ensure a peaceful and transparent transition of power. Idris described the Kebbi State Government House as the NLC's "second home" and pledged his state's continued support for union activities. He highlighted Kebbi's development under his administration and expressed his goal to rank the state among the best five in Nigeria in terms of labour welfare.
