Subsidy: NLC Issues Seven-Day Nationwide Strike Notice

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has put plans in place for a nationwide strike scheduled to commence August 2, 2023.

Though a court order which barred the congress from going on strike in June still stands, it was learnt that the congress stated 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 said, “Yes. We 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.”

According to report, the congress would meet on Tuesday and deliberate on the ways forward.

Failure of the government to meet the ultimatum would lead to a nationwide strike.
