NLC declares nationwide strike Wednesday
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), on Friday, declared a nationwide strike from Wednesday next week.
The union disclosed this during its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting held in the Federal Capital territory, Abuja.
The meeting was not unconnected to the fuel subsidy removal by President Bola Tinubu and the subsequent hike in the pump price of petrol.
The NLC had said it was holding a meeting of its National Executive Council on Friday following its meeting with the federal government on petrol subsidy removal on Wednesday which ended in a deadlock.
There have been agitations across the country since Monday when President Bola Tinubu announced the petrol subsidy removal.
