NLC, TUC warn of possible strike as insecurity deepens in Nigeria

 

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have warned that they may embark on industrial action if the rising cases of terr%rism, b@nditry, and kidn@ppings across the country are not urgently addressed.

The labour unions issued the warning during a joint press briefing at the 114th International Labour Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, where they expressed concern over the worsening security situation in Nigeria.

They said the continued vi%lence is putting workers and citizens at risk, adding that organised labour would be forced to act if the government fails to respond decisively.

The unions also dismissed reports by some state governors suggesting that discussions were ongoing regarding a proposed ₦100,000 minimum wage, stating that such claims do not reflect the actual status of negotiations on workers’ welfare.
