The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has alerted the Federal Government about its plan to embark on a total nationwide strike.
The organised labour gave the government a 7-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.
According to a report monitored in Vanguard, the NLC has directed all affiliates and state councils to immediately begin mobilisation of workers and other Nigerians, including civil society allies, for a long-lasting strike and mass protests should the government fail to meet its demands.
The decision is said to been reached at NLC’s Central Working Committee, CWC, meeting held Tuesday, July 25, at Abuja Labour House.
