Organized Labor sets for indefinite strike from Oct.   

The Nigeria Labour congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress(TUC) have announced a nationwide strike over the failure of the Federal  Government to meet their demands.

The Labour unions declared that the strike action would commence on October 3rd, 2023. 

 After the National Executive Council meeting in Abuja, both unions took the stand on Tuesday. 

During a joint press briefing in Abuja, NLC President, Joe Ajaero spoke first and stated that an indefinite strike became inevitable due to the government’s lackadaisical stance in meeting demands raised by both unions. 

To this end, Ajaero said the executive councils of both unions, having taken into consideration the stance of the government in the wake of the subsidy removal policy, left them with no option but to call for an indefinite strike. 

President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo, on his part, said they resolved that all workers are expected to withdraw their services beginning from October 3rd.
