The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports the lecture has the theme, “Reclaiming the Civic Space in the Midst of Economic Hardship” .

Ajaero stressed the need for government to open up the civil space to enable workers and unions to freely express themselves in line with democracy tenets.

He assured that the labour movement would continue to talk truth to power and fight for the rights of Nigerians.

Prof. Christopher Chukwuma from Nnamdi Azikiwe University, while delivering the keynote address called for the review of laws restricting, criminalising civic engagements in the country.

Chukwuma, a Professor of International law said it was imperative to review the Cybercrime Act and the Public Order Act, which, according to him, are restricting and criminalising civic engagement .

He said that the civic space was essential for the functioning of democratic processes.(NAN)
