Strike: Blackout, fuel scarcity, transport disruptions imminent as unions mobilise for total compliance

There are indications that Nigerians may be in for hard times beginning from Monday, 3 June, as a result of the indefinite strike action declared by Organised Labour.

Specifically, there may be nationwide power outages, fuel scarcity, and transportation disruptions, just as the nation’s seaports, schools, and hospitals, among other important government agencies and parastatals, may be put under lock.

This is because all affiliates of both trade unions, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), have commenced mobilisation for total compliance with the planned strike.
