The Federal Government has been given seven days by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to reverse any perceived anti-poor measures, including the most recent increase in the price of gasoline at the pump, or face an indefinite nationwide strike beginning on August 2.
As a result, the NLC has ordered all of its affiliates and state councils to start organizing employees and other Nigerians—including supporters from civil society—for a protracted strike and large-scale demonstrations should its demands not be met.
This was one of the decisions made during the NLC’s Central Working Committee, CWC, meeting on Tuesday, July 25, at Abuja Labour House, according to information obtained.
