The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), has concluded its two-day warning strike and has directed its members to return to work on Thursday, September 7.
During this strike, NLC affiliate unions demonstrated unwavering commitment to defending Nigerian workers and citizens against the economic challenges they face.
The NLC commended its affiliate unions for their robust participation in the strike action.
The NLC has conveyed a strong message, indicating that if the Federal Government does not take effective measures to alleviate the hardships caused by the removal of fuel subsidy, the unions are prepared to embark on an indefinite industrial action.
A press statement signed by its president, Comrade Joe Ajaero, reads: “We write to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our dedicated Affiliates, State Councils, and esteemed members for their unwavering support and active participation in the recent two-day nationwide warning strike.
This collective effort was undertaken to emphasize our strong conviction that the government should prioritize the welfare of our citizens and adhere to our established statutes.
“We are pleased to report that, thanks to your resolute commitment, we have made significant strides in achieving the goals set during our National Executive Council (NEC), meeting, which prompted the initiation of this warning strike. It is abundantly clear that our united message has resonated loudly with the government, and it would take a truly inattentive ear not to hear it.
“As we mark the end of the two-day nationwide warning strike today, at the stroke of midnight, we earnestly call upon you all to gracefully conclude the strike and return to work tomorrow, in accordance with our initial agreement.
