The Nigeria Labour Congress, or NLC, announced a statewide strike starting next week Wednesday.
The union made this disclosure at a meeting of its National Executive Council, NEC, which was held in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory.
According to Channels TV, the meeting was not unrelated to President Bola Tinubu's suspension of fuel subsidies and the ensuing increase in the price of petrol at the pump.
The NEC comprises all of the NLC's affiliate unions' presidents, general secretaries, and treasurers, as well as state chairs and secretaries of the NLC state councils, the chair of the NLC youth committee, and members of the NAC.
