Organized Labour Declares Nationwide Strike

The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, has declared a total and indefinite nationwide strike starting from Tuesday, November 14, 2023.

The organized labour disclosed this after an emergency meeting in Abuja on Tuesday.

DAILY REPORT NG had earlier reported that the labour unions had threatened to embark on strike over an attack on the NLC President, Joe Ajaero in Imo State last week.

Speaking during a Channels Television interview on Tuesday, Festus Osifo, President of TUC made it known that the unions have agreed to withdraw their services from Imo State starting Wednesday, November 8.

Osifo said: “Both NEC of the Unions decided with effect from this night, we will start the withdrawal of service across the board in Imo State.

“Flight operations, electricity, and supply of Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol) will be shut down.

“Because for us, what was done in Imo State to Joe Ajaero was barbaric and fundamentally wrong against all norms and principles.

“Tomorrow, Thursday, Friday and through the weekend. Then, if the Government refuses to heed our demands, we will call for a total shutdown on Tuesday”
