United Labour Congress

The United Labour Congress (ULC) was a national trade union federation in Nigeria.

The federation decided not to align with any particular political party, but to affiliate to the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions.

[1][2] The federation was led by president Alhaji Haroun Popoola Adebola and general secretary L. L. Borha.

It led the formation of the Joint Action Committee, which campaigned for wage increases for labourers.
