NLC and TUC: In a dramatic turn of events, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have jointly declared a nationwide strike, set to commence on November 14, 2023. This announcement comes in the wake of a controversial incident that has left the nation in shock and disbelief.
The Extraordinary Meeting That Sealed the Decision
The decision to launch this massive industrial action was not taken lightly. The leadership of the NLC and TUC convened an extraordinary National Executive Council meeting in the country’s capital, Abuja. This high-stakes meeting, attended by representatives from various sectors, proved to be the catalyst for the strike announcement. The message was clear: the organized labor unions are ready to flex their muscles.

The genesis of this nationwide strike declaration can be traced back to the brutalization of NLC National President, Joe Ajaero, in Imo State. The incident occurred just last week, sending shockwaves throughout the nation. Ajaero, a prominent figure in the labor movement, was subjected to an attack that left many questioning the state of security in the country.
