The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed civil
servants to go back to work after the completion of the two-day warning strike.
The union, in a statement on Wednesday, asked its members
across the country to resume work on Thursday.
“As we mark the end of the two-day nationwide warning strike
today, at the stroke of midnight, we earnestly call upon you all to gracefully
conclude the strike and return to work tomorrow, in accordance with our initial
agreement,” the statement signed by Joe Ajaero, NLC president, reads.
Last Friday, NLC asked its members to embark on a two-day warning strike over the impact of petrol subsidy removal on the masses.
The strike commenced on Tuesday, September 5.
Workers in some states fully complied with strike order as
activities in government institutions were grounded, while partial compliance
was witnessed in some states.
According to the statement, Ajaero commended affiliate
unions and state chapters for their active participation in the warning strike.
He said the same passion that triggered the warning strike
would be necessary for an indefinite strike if the government fails to respond
to their demands.
“It is abundantly clear that our united message has
resonated loudly with the government, and it would take a truly inattentive ear
not to hear it,” the NLC president said.
“As we mark the end of the two-day nationwide warning strike
today, at the stroke of midnight, we earnestly call upon you all to gracefully
conclude the strike and return to work tomorrow, in accordance with our initial
agreement.
“We would like to take this moment to express our profound
appreciation for your unwavering determination and dedication, which played a
pivotal role in the resounding success of this action.
“Your contributions
during this warning strike exemplify your unwavering commitment to our shared
cause.”
