About 24 hours to Wednesday’s planned nationwide strike and mass protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress, sixteen Northern-based civil society groups under the aegis of the Coalition of Arewa Civil Society Organisations have pulled out, stating that the indefinite strike action will damage the fragile economy and cause more hardship to the ordinary citizens.
The decision to pull out was contained in a statement jointly signed by Chairman and Secretary of the Arewa Coalition, Comrade Ibraheem Suleman Dogo, and Comrade Friday Luka Dalung.
According to the groups, the planned strike action was not the best way to resolve problems emerging from the current harsh economic conditions caused by the removal of fuel subsidy.
