NLC Issues August 2 Nationwide Strike Notice

229

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has given the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to reverse all perceived anti-poor policies, including the recent hike in the pump price of petrol, or face an indefinite nationwide strike from August 2.

Consequently, the NLC has directed all its affiliates and state councils to immediately begin mobilisation of workers and other Nigerians, including civil society allies, for a long-lasting strike and mass protest should the government fail to meet its demands.

The decision was reached at the NLC’s Central Working Committee, CWC, meeting held Tuesday, July 25, at Abuja Labour House.
