NLC, TUC to commence strike Nov. 14

On Monday, the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria directed their affiliates to cease operations nationwide starting from midnight on November 14, 2023.

TUC President Festus Osifo conveyed this decision in Abuja, emphasizing that the strike would persist until government authorities fulfill their duties.

The strike also serves as a protest against the assault on NLC President Joe Ajaero and other executives in Owerri, Imo State, on November 1, along with addressing unresolved labor issues in Imo State. Ajaero’s arrest by the police ahead of a state-wide protest was confirmed by NLC’s Head of Information, Benson Upah, although the police asserted it was for protective reasons.

Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma accused Ajaero of interference in the state’s political affairs.
