The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, have declared a nationwide strike.
NLC ordered its members to commence a nationwide strike over the assault on its president, Joe Ajaero. The organised labour directed its affiliates to implement the resolutions of the National Executive Council.
TUC President, Festus Osifo who disclosed this while addressing journalists on Monday, said the strike would remain until “government at all levels wake up to their responsibility.”
He said, “We said those who brutalised Joe Ajaero, the President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, should be relieved of their jobs and prosecuted.”
“Instead of taking action, some government officials started running their mouths. All the arms of the NLC and TUC have been mobilised to start action.”
It would be recalled that last week, the Organized Labour had declared a total and indefinite nationwide strike starting from Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
