The United Kingdom Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has issued a travel warning to its citizens intending to visit Nigeria over the ongoing strike action in the West African nation.

Issuing a warning to British citizens travelling to Nigeria, the FCDO advised intending travellers to check with their airline or agent before embarking on the trip as airports including both local and international terminals were shut down across the country on Monday.

“The Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria have commenced a nationwide strike affecting public services across Nigeria,” the FCDO advisory said. “This includes disruptions at all Nigerian airports, including international terminals,” it added.

“You are advised to check with your airline or agent before travelling and make alternative arrangements where required.”

Economic activities, including airports and national grid, were shut down on Monday as the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) commenced an indefinite strike after failure to reach an agreement with the federal government over a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers.

Meanwhile, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) George Akume, alongside other government officials, are currently in an closed door emergency meeting with the leadership of both NLC and TUC regarding the ongoing strike as at the time of filing this report.

The strike has gone global

Those of you who said that the NLC are toothless bull dogs because of the calmness of the NLC President can now eat your words .

The gentleness of a tiger doesn't make it a weakling . (Lesson learnt)

Weldon NLC, Nigerians are solidly behind you.

Any publicity at this point is welcome.

UK can not keep quiet! They do not want their Nigerian staff to go to Nigeria for 2 weeks holiday and end up being stuck there for months as it would negatively impact UK's productivity and GDP.

Caring for her citizens.

Quick to issue travel warning but never to their political stooges plunging the country into economic and political crisis.

The UK railway workers have been on strike for the past two years now nobody issue any travel advisory to the UK. Nigerians with inferiority complex are always jumping up to anything said by their oyibo god.
