The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has instructed all affiliate unions to resume work on Thursday after the two-day warning strike aimed at highlighting the hardships faced by Nigerians due to the removal of petrol subsidies.
In a letter addressed to all affiliates and State Council Chairpersons, the NLC expressed gratitude for their support and participation in the strike, which was initiated to prioritize the welfare of citizens and ensure adherence to established statutes.
The letter, dated 6th September with the title, “The Two-Day Nationwide Warning Strike: Nigerian Workers have spoken,” which was signed by the NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, said that the message conveyed through the warning strike resonated loudly with the government, adding that it would only take an inattentive ear not to hear it.
