The nationwide strike called by organised labour has grounded train services and banking activities in Lagos, as affiliates of the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) in Lagos State, on Tuesday complied with the directive of the two labour unions to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike.
Ripples Nigeria recalls that the National Executive Council meeting of the labour unions, held on November 13, 2023, in Abuja, resolved to embark on the strike.
According to the unions, the decision was due to the alleged failure of the Federal Government to address issues affecting workers, such as the minimum wage, insecurity, corruption, and poor governance.
