Organised labour comprising of the leadership of the Nigeria Labour
Congress and the Trade Union Congress on Tuesday declared a total
nationwide strike effective Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
The leadership of the two unions reached the resolution after an
extraordinary National Executive Council meeting on Tuesday in
Abuja, an official told The PUNCH under the condition of anonymity
because he was not permitted to disclose details ahead of a
scheduled press release by the labour centres.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that the leadership of the NLC and
the TUC summoned what the unions described as an extraordinary
NEC meeting.
The aim of the meeting was to review the modalities of the planned
strike following the brutalisation of the National President of the NLC,
Joe Ajaero, review of the Memorandum of Understanding signed
between the Federal Government and the organised labour on
October 2, 2023, following the removal of the subsidy on Premium
Motor Spirit which the labour centres said has caused “untold
hardship” to Nigerians.
The labour unions had, on Friday, issued a five-day ultimatum over
the earlier arrest of the National President of the NLC, by the police in
Owerri, Imo State, on Wednesday.
The labour centres demanded the redeployment of the commissioner
of police in the state and the arrest and prosecution of the aide of
the government who was alleged to have perpetrated the attack.
The unions also threatened to embark on a nationwide industrial
action if their demands were not met in five days from Friday.

Ajaero was arrested by the police ahead of the state-wide protest in
Imo on Wednesday. This was disclosed by the NLC’s Head of
Information, Benson Upah.
Although the police denied arresting Ajaero, stating that he was
merely taken into protective custody to prevent a mob attack, the
Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma, accused the labour leader of
meddling in the political affairs of the state.
The attack on the labour leader has been condemned by many
prominent Nigerians and civil society organisations, including the
presidential candidate of the Labour Party in the 2023 elections,
Peter Obi, and human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN).

Those groups good in comedy. They want
government settlement again.

They're liers and incompetent, they should leave us to rest and stop
unnecessary noise.


Strike is not the answer to our problems

I support Labour any day, anytime. Our politicians need a push

No strike will at the eleventh hour it will be called off as usual

As if the so called common man like yourself on the streets, is not the replica of the bad leadership in the office?

You cannot give what you do not have, even you at the bottom in the laundry room, is worse than the worst bad leader in the living room.

Hehehe
