In an emergency meeting held in Abuja on Tuesday, the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have officially declared a comprehensive and indefinite nationwide strike, set to commence on Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
This decision follows a series of events triggered by the recent attack on NLC President, Joe Ajaero, in Imo State. The labor unions had previously issued a stern warning regarding their intention to initiate a strike action in response to this incident.
The announcement marks a significant escalation in the ongoing labor dispute, setting the stage for potential disruptions across various sectors of the Nigerian economy.
