A two-day warning strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, will begin Tuesday morning(today), after Labour leaders refused to parley with the Federal Government on Monday.
NLC says the warning strike was to draw the attention of the Federal Government to the increasing hardship and suffering across the country caused by the removal of fuel subsidy.
Labour leaders had on Monday, shunned a meeting with the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, and had insisted that the strike must go on. The Federal Government on her own had warned that the strike will worsen the plights of ordinary Nigerians and urged NLC to shelve the action.
The NLC had on Friday, given notice of a two-day warning strike to protest the excruciating mass suffering and impoverishment experienced around the country, threatening a total and indefinite shutdown of the economy within 14 working days or 21 days after the warning strike, if government did not take steps to address the hardship experienced across the country.
