The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to go on a nationwide strike for the sack of the thousands of workers in Kaduna State.
This decision was made after the emergency National Executive Council (NEC) meeting led by its president, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, on Tuesday evening.
The labour union also cited the anti-labour practices and failure of the state government to respect the memorandum of understanding (MoU) following the letter of President Muhammadu Buhari, on the refusal of the Kaduna State government to abide by the MoU signed with the Federal Government, as reasons it has decided to embark on industrial action.
The union said it had directed all its affiliate unions and state councils to commence mobilisation of workers across the country for immediate take-off of the strike.
Addressing the media after the meeting, Wabba said the decision of NEC on the nationwide strike had been communicated officially to all employers of labour and all agencies of government.
Wabba pointed out that after exhausting all avenues, including writing letters to President Buhari and Senator Ngige, the congress had decided to resume the strike.
