NLC/TUC SUSPENDS INDEFINITE STRIKE

NLC/TUC SUSPENDS INDEFINITE STRIKE
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have jointly suspend the indefinite strike billed for Tuesday, October 3, 2023 following the removal of fuel subsidy.


This was revealed in a statement signed by Comrade John Kennedy Ikemefuna, Head of Media, MWUN.

According to the statement, President-General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) Comrade (Prince) Dr. Adewale Adeyanju, equally ordered that all the nation's Seaports, Jetties, Oil & Gas platforms and Terminals be shut down accordingly for operations.

After the outcome of emergency meeting summoned on October 2, 2023, between the federal government and  labour leaders was held, the NLC and TUC had jointly agreed to suspend the strike to allow for  implementation of the NLC demands. Consequently, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the NLC had directed that all its affiliate members should direct their members to return to work tomorrow, October 3, 2023 as the planned indefinite strike  has been suspended.
Comrade Adeyanju, the Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour Congress had equally directed that all members of the Maritime sector should resume work tomorrow as instructed by the Nigeria Labour Congress.

It would be recalled that the Nigeria Labour Congress had directed its affiliate member unions across the country to mobilize and shut down the country following the refusal of government to adhere to the seven points demand made by the NLC and the TUC to ameliorate the suffering of the teeming Nigerian Workers and the impoverished masses of the country.
