Subsidy Removal: NLC Threatens Strike, Issues 7-Day Ultimatum
The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has issued the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to reverse all perceived ‘anti-poor’ policies, including the recent hike in the pump price of petrol, or face an indefinite nationwide strike from August 2.
The NLC has directed all its affiliates and state councils to immediately begin mobilisation of workers and other Nigerians, including civil society allies, for a long-lasting strike and mass protests should the government fail to meet its demands.
Nigeria Daily Post gathered that this was one of the decisions reached at NLC’s Central Working Committee, CWC, meeting held Tuesday, July 25, at Abuja Labour House.
