The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has given the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to reverse the recent hike in the pump price of petrol and all perceived anti-poor policies, or face an indefinite nationwide strike starting from August 2.
This was part of the decisions reached at NLC’s Central Working Committee, CWC, meeting held on Tuesday at the Labour House in Abuja.
The NLC has therefore 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.
