The Nigeria Labour Congress has put plans in place for a nationwide strike scheduled to begin August 2023.
Though a court order which barred the congress from going on strike in June still stands. It was learnt that the congress noted that it could not fold its arms while Nigerians continued to suffer the effects of subsidy removal which has led to untold hardship.
The national treasurer of the NLC, Hakeem Ambali, confirmed this. He said the union had issued a seven-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to conclude all negotiations with labour or face industrial action yesterday by the Central Working Committee. The national president of the NLC, Joe Ajaero has yet to issue an official statement on the matter.
