FG Moves To Avert Planned Strike By NLC
The Federal Government on Sunday sent an invitation to the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its counterpart, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for a fresh meeting with the intention of averting the looming indefinite strike occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidy. The union had given a 3-week ultimatum to embark on an indefinite strike over fuel subsidy removal. On September 1, Joe Ajaero, NLC president, declared that the labour union would go on a two-day warning strike from September 5.
