[Just In]16 Point Agreement: NLC, TUC issue 14-Day nationwide strike notice

A 14-day nationwide strike notice has been issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC,
to the Federal Government.

Their pending strike according to the Labour group was because of the non-implementation of the 16-point agreement between organised labour (NLC and TUC) and the Federal Government on October 2, 2023.

The labour leaders in a statement on Thursday afternoon, said it is regrettable that they were compelled to resort to such measures.

NLC and TUC, in a statement, said, “It is regrettable that we are compelled to resort to such measures, but the persistent neglect of the welfare of citizens and Nigerian workers and the massive hardship leave us with no choice.

“Constrained by this development and recognising the urgency of the situation and the imperative of ensuring the protection and defence of the rights and dignity of Nigerian workers and citizens, the NLC and TUC hereby issue a stern ultimatum to the Federal Government to honour their part of the understanding within 14 days from tomorrow, the 9th day of February 2024.”
