JUST IN: Court Halts NLC’s Planned Nationwide Strike By Nigerian Workers As FG Says It Will Disrupt Education, Others

The National Industrial Court sitting in Abuja has granted an interim order restraining the Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress from embarking on strike action from Wednesday until the determination of the motion on notice filed by the federal government and the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation.

Justice O. y Anuwe delivered the ruling on Monday following the suit instituted against the NLC and TUC, who had earlier directed its members to proceed on strike following the removal of petroleum subsidy by the Federal Government.
