The Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress have declared an indefinite strike, beginning from October 3rd, 2023.
Both unions disclosed this on Tuesday, shortly after their National Executive Council meetings in Abuja.
NLC President, Joe Ajaero,said the action became inevitable due to government’s lackadaisical stance in meeting demands raised by both unions.
He said NECs of both unions having taken into consideration the stance of government in the wake of the subsidy removal policy, left them with no option than to call for an indefinite strike.
He accused the government of putting the unions under its whimps and caprices, particularly regarding its interference in the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) activities.
President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo said they resolved at their NEC that beginning from October 3rd, after the independence day festivities, all workers are expected to withdraw their services.
