The Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, have directed their affiliates to embark on nationwide strike from midnight on November 14, 2023.
According to The PUNCH, TUC President Festus Osifo disclosed this while speaking with newsmen in Abuja on Monday.
Osifo stated that the strike would remain until “government at all levels wake up to their responsibility.”
The strike is also to protest the brutalisation of the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, and some other executives of the congress in Owerri, Imo State, on November 1, as well as the pending labour issues in Imo State.
Meanwhile, the police denied arresting Ajaero, claiming that he was merely taken into protective custody to prevent a mob attack.
Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, alleged that the labour leader waSs meddling in the political affairs of the state.
