Subsidy Removal: NLC goes on nationwide strike
The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has resolved to embark on strike from the second day of August.
The Labour Union gave the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to reverse all policies which are perceived to be anti-poor.Of serious concern to the NLC is the recent hike in the pump price of petrol.
The NLC, it was learnt, directed all its affiliates and state councils to immediately begin mobilisation of workers and other Nigerians, including civil society allies, for a long-lasting strike and mass protests should the government fail to meet its demands.
