The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union
Congress, TUC, have declared a nationwide strike over the failure of the
Federal Government to meet their demands.
The Labour unions announced on Tuesday that the action would
commence on October 3, 2023.
Both Unions took the stand on Tuesday, shortly after their
National Executive Council meetings in Abuja.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero, who spoke first, during a joint
press briefing in Abuja said an indefinite strike became inevitable owing to
the government’s lackadaisical stance in meeting demands raised by both unions.
To this end, Ajaero said the executive councils of both
unions, having taken into consideration the stance of the government in the
wake of the subsidy removal policy, left them with no option but to call for an
indefinite strike.
On his part, President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus
Osifo said they resolved that beginning from October 3rd all workers are
expected to withdraw their services.
