Leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), would conduct a joint press conference at 3 p.m. today to announce a statewide indefinite strike.
Earlier reports indicates that between Tuesday, September 5, and Wednesday 6, 2023, NLC without the TUC went on a two-day warning strike to urge the government to address the mass painful suffering of Nigerians, particularly workers.
According to reports, the leaders of the two labour unions have settled their disputes, which caused only the NLC to go on a two-day warning strike without the cooperation of the TUC.
Following their separate meetings, the two centres would hold a joint press conference at 3 p.m. to announce an indefinite nationwide strike in response to the Federal Government’s failure to address the suffering and other socioeconomic hardships caused by the removal of subsidies on Premium Motor, PMS, commonly known as petrol.
