The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, of Nigeria have declared an indefinite strike starting from October 3.
At a press briefing held in Abuja on Tuesday, September 26, the President of NLC, Joe Ajaero and the TUC, Festus Osifo, advised Nigerians to stockpile foodstuffs because the strike would shut down economic activities in the country.
According to the communique read by the two Presidents, the indefinite strike is as a result of the alleged insensitivity of government to the plights of Nigerians as a result of the removal of petrol subsidy and continuous demonstration of unwillingness and complete lack of initiative to roll out palliatives.
