The Nigeria Labour Congress, (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress, (TUC) have threatened to embark on a nationwide strike.
NLC and TUC have given the Federal Government a strike warning which will be effective in 14 days time.
The complaint arose from the inability of the Federal Government to implement the 16-point agreement between the NLC, TUC, and the Federal Government on October 2, 2023.
The NLC and TUC leaders have complaint that the Federal Government is reluctant by the widespread of hardship and suffering in the country, even though the leaders of their unions of put in diligent efforts to sustain the labour market.
In a statement, NLC and TUC said:
“it is regrettable that we are compelled to resort to such measures, but the persistent neglect of the welfare of citizens and Nigerian workers and the massive hardship leave us with no choice”.
“Constrained by this development and recognising the urgency of the situation and the imperative of ensuring the protection and defence of the rights and dignity of Nigerian workers and citizens, the NLC and TUC hereby issue a stern ultimatum to the Federal Government to honour their part of the understanding within 14 days from tomorrow, the 9th day of February 2024,”
