The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have jointly suspended the indefinite strike slated for October 3, 2023, following the removal of fuel subsidies.
The Nigeria Labour Congress had directed its affiliate member unions across the country to mobilize and shut down the country following the refusal of the government to adhere to the seven-point demand made by the NLC and the TUC to ameliorate the suffering of the teeming Nigerian workers and the impoverished masses of the country.
The President-General of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN), Comrade (Prince) Dr. Adewale Adeyanju fnli HFCPSP, in the same vein, equally ordered that all the nation’s seaports, jetties, oil and gas platforms, and terminals be shut down accordingly for operations.
But after the outcome of the emergency meeting summoned today, October 2, 2023, between the federal government and labor leaders was held, the NLC and TUC jointly agreed to suspend the strike to allow for the implementation of the NLC demands. Consequently, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the NLC had directed that all its affiliate members should direct their members to return to work tomorrow, October 3, 2023, as the planned indefinite strike has been suspended.
Comrade Adeyanju, the Deputy President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, had equally directed that all members of the maritime sector should resume work tomorrow as instructed by the Nigeria Labour Congress.
