Abuja, Nigeria – June 4, 2024 – The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced that its ongoing strike will persist until further notice. This decision was communicated through an official tweet from the NLC’s X (formerly Twitter) account earlier today.
The tweet stated, “Until we hear from Our Organs at our Meeting scheduled for today 4th June, We are still on Strike.” This indicates that the final decision regarding the continuation or suspension of the strike will depend on the outcomes of their scheduled internal discussions.
The NLC, representing a wide array of workers across various sectors, initiated the strike to address multiple grievances including wage disputes, working conditions, and other labor-related issues. The strike has had significant impacts across the country, affecting both public and private sectors.
Today’s meeting is expected to be pivotal, as union leaders deliberate on the progress of negotiations with the government and other stakeholders. Workers and citizens alike are keenly awaiting the outcome, hoping for a resolution that will end the industrial action and restore normalcy.
The NLC has urged its members to remain steadfast and united, reaffirming their commitment to achieving a favorable outcome for all workers involved. As the situation develops, further updates are anticipated following the conclusion of today’s crucial meeting.
