The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, have declared a nationwide strike.
NLC ordered its members to commence a nationwide strike over the assault on its president, Joe Ajaero.
The organised labour directed its affiliates to implement the resolutions of the National Executive Council.
TUC President, Festus Osifo, disclosed this while addressing journalists on Monday.
Osifo said the strike would remain until “government at all levels wake up to their responsibility.”
Last week, the Organized Labour had declared a total and indefinite nationwide strike starting from Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
Recall that suspected agents of the state and security operatives had, on November 1, descended on Ajaero alongside other’ labour leaders.
Their vehicles were damaged, they were injured and dispossessed of handsets, money, ATM cards among other valuables.
