Strike: NLC dismisses claim of agreement with Nigerian govt

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has dismissed the claim of an agreement with the Federal Government on the planned indefinite strike.

The NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had at the end of the joint National Executive Council meeting on Tuesday declared an indefinite strike beginning from October 3 over the hardship caused by the removal of fuel subsidy and other policy initiatives of the current administration.

The Congress’ Head of Information and Public Affairs, Benson Upah, made the clarification in a statement on Thursday in Abuja.
