The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has commended Nigerians for supporting them and they also urge everyone to shun any rumoured reports about the union suspending the nationwide protest which is scheduled to begin on Wednesday asserting that the strike action will still hold.
The labour union proposed this strike action nationwide due to the hike in the price of petrol as well as the currency rate unification amongst other issues that the union is holding the government accountable for—they have said that the strike action will hold, unlike other proposed protests that never saw the light of the day.
This was made clear in a statement issued by the National President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, on Tuesday evening, in which he stated that, despite the union meeting with the Federal Government, the demonstration will continue as planned throughout key cities across the nation.
The rumour and controversy surrounding a possible suspension of the nationwide protest may be linked to a report claiming that the NLC Secretary-General, Emmanuel Ugboaja, suggested in an earlier briefing with journalists that the Congress might reconsider its stance on the proposed strike action.
