Post created on 11:28 am

The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have declared a total nationwide strike effective next Tuesday, November 14, 2023.

The resolution was reached after a National Executive Council meeting was held in Abuja on Tuesday.

The NLC and TUC said a nationwide mobilisation of their members has begun immediately.

There had been widespread outrage by the Organised Labour accusing the Commissioner of Police in Imo State, Mohammed Barde, of complicity in the recent attack on Ajaero, in Owerri, the Imo State capital.

Last week Friday the organised Labour gave the Federal government a five-day ultimatum to replace the commissioner of Police and also blamed Governor Hope Uzodimma for the attack on their leader.
