The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and its counterpart, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC, have decided to start the scheduled statewide strike at midnight tonight.
The strike is in response to the assault on the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, and others on November 1 in Owerri, Imo State, as well as the state’s ongoing labor concerns.
They had agreed on November 7 to go on strike countrywide by Tuesday, November 14, if their demands were not satisfied.
