JUST IN: NLC Begins Indefinite Nationwide Strike As 14-Days Ultimatum Lapses

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has started a nationwide strike.

According to Aynaijang, the NLC indefinite strike has started as of today, September 22, 2023.

The federal government has failed to heed labor's requests, including providing palliatives to lessen the painful impact of removing gasoline subsidies, which is why there is industrial action.

Recall that the NLC had embarked on a two-day warning strike on September 5 and 6 to put the government on its toes.

However, the President Bola Tinubu-led government’s failure to meet the demands within the 14-day ultimatum period has led to an indefinite strike action.

This was announced by NLC’s Head of Department for Information and Public Affairs, Benson Upah, who confirmed in a statement on Friday.

Upah said that the government has not met any of the union’s demands and that the strike “can begin any moment from now”.
