Organized Labour Declares Nationwide Strike From Tuesday
Organized Labour has declared a total and indefinite nationwide strike, beginning from Tuesday, November 14, 2023. The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), disclosed this following an emergency meeting in Abuja on Tuesday. At the meeting, the unions reviewed the modalities of the planned strike following the brutalization of the NLC National President, Joe Ajaero by the police in Imo State last week. The unions asked President Bola Tinubu-led government to immediately remove the police commissioner in the state and the Area Commander, among other officials, for their alleged complicity in the humiliation of Ajaero and other workers.
