The Senate on Monday directed its leadership to meet with the Federal Government and the Nigeria Labour Congress to avert the impending nationwide strike action.
Recall that the NLC had given the Federal Government an ultimatum to rescind the fuel subsidy removal or face a nationwide strike beginning from Wednesday, August 2, 2023.
The resolution of the Senate followed a motion titled: “Urgent need to avert impending nationwide strike being called by the Nigeria Labour Congress over the removal of fuel subsidy” sponsored by Senator Sulaiman Kawu.
Senators Isah Jibrin, Seriake Dickson, and Solomon Adeola supported the motion and called on the NLC to shelve the proposed strike and allow the palliatives being planned by the Federal Government to ameliorate the suffering of the people.
