The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has issued a seven-day ultimatum to the federal government to reverse all perceived anti-poor policies, including the recent hike in the pump price of petrol.
TheHintsNews reports that the decision of Union was reached at NLC’s Central Working Committee (CWC), meeting held on Tuesday at the Labour House, Abuja.
The Union warned that if the federal government failed to heed to its demand, it would embark on an indefinite nationwide strike from August 2.
To this end, the Union has directed all its affiliates and state councils to immediately begin mobilisation of workers and other Nigerians, including civil society allies, for strike and mass protests should the government fail to meet its demands.
