NLC GIVES CONDITIONS TO HALTPLANNED NATIONWIDE STRIKE.

The Nigeria Labor Congress NLC has insisted that the only thing that would stop the planned nationwide strike over the hardship in the country was the federal government’s honoring of the agreement it had with labor.

In the latest letter written to the government, where the NLC dismissed claims by the federal government that it had fulfilled 80 percent of the October 2, 2023, agreement with organizedlabor, they asked the government to come out clean on any part of the agreement it fully fulfilled,

NLC in the letter dated February 29, 2024, titled HAS THE GOVERNMENT TRULY IMPLEMENTED THE OCTOBER 2, 2023, agreement addressed to the Minister of State for Labor and Employment, warned that resorting to propaganda and disinformation was heightening restiveness among the citizens. 

The Acting General Secretary of the NLC,Ismail Bello advised the government to, between now and March 13, 2024, deadline, fast-track the process of implementation of the agreement and avoid a looming industrial crisis.
