The Nigeria Labour Congress and
Trade Union Congress have denied receiving a court order restraining them from
embarking on the ongoing indefinite nationwide strike.
The President of the Trade Union
Congress, Festus Osifo, disclosed this on Wednesday during an interview with
Channels Television.
According to him, NLC and TUC did
not receive any notice of a court order restraining it from embarking on
strike.
“We don’t have any court order;
NLC and TUC have none. There is no single communication to that effect”, he
said.
His reaction comes after a court
judgement surfaced last week restraining the unions from embarking on strike.
But, on Tuesday, the Nigeria
Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress commenced a nationwide indefinite
strike over an assault on Joe Ajaero, NLC National President, in Imo State.
Affiliate unions, including the
Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), National Union of Electricity
Employees, Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN), National Union of Banks,
Insurance and Financial Institutions Employees (NUBIFIE) and others, have
thrown their weight behind NLC, TUC by joining the strike action.
