At solidarity with affiliate unions in colleges and Nigerian students, the Nigerian Labor Congress (NLC) has vowed to embark on a three-day warning strike.
The warning was issued in a statement signed by the union’s President, Ayuba Wabba, and General Secretary, Emmanuel Ugboaja.
The statement, which was made available to journalists on Thursday, was released at the conclusion of a meeting of the Congress’ Central Working Committee (CWC).
NLC To Embark On Nationwide Protest Tomorrow
The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and others have been on strike for the past 21 days, and the union has given the federal government 21 days to form a panel to settle the issue.
The statement reads: “This is also occasioned by government’s failure to honour agreements reached with trade unions in our universities.
“If at the end of the national protest and the 21 days ultimatum, the Federal Government fails to resolve the industrial crises in Nigeria’s universities, the Congress would be left with no other option than to embark on three days nationwide warning strike.
“This is in solidarity with our affiliates in the universities and with Nigerian students, whose future and wellbeing are being jeopardised.”
