Nationwide strike: Stock homes with food, medicines, others, Labour tells Nigerians

The Federal Government will on Monday meet with the representatives of the organised labour in an effort to prevent the nationwide strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress.

The Assistant General Secretary, NLC, Chris Onyeka, said in an interview with Newsmen that the citizens should also minimise their movements so as to avoid being stranded.

 NLC had given the government a seven-day ultimatum with threats of a nationwide strike scheduled to commence on Wednesday, August 2, 2023. The labour movement in a statement signed by its National President, Joe Ajaero, accused the Tinubu-led Federal Government of failing to meet up with the demands it presented to it following the removal of the subsidy on Premium Motor Spirit, popularly known as petrol, which caused an astronomical rise in the pump price of the commodity.
