The strike action embarked upon by the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress is affecting every facet of the country, including the Super Eagles’ preparation for their crucial World Cup qualifying matches against South Africa and Benin Republic.
Following the breakdown of negotiations between the Federal Government and organised labour, critical infrastructures, including the national grid, airports and Nigerian ports, were shut down in compliance with the NLC/TUC directives in the early hours, of Monday.
The indefinite strike has also grounded activities in most tertiary institutions and hospitals across the country as workers heed the order of the union leaders.
