🚨 NLC and TUC announce nationwide strike starting June 3rd to push for new minimum wage and review of electricity prices in Nigeria! ⚡️

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have shaken Nigeria with their announcement of a nationwide strike set to kick off on Monday, June 3rd, 2024. The main agenda behind this bold move is to pressure the government into agreeing on a new minimum wage for workers and reevaluating the recent increase in electricity prices.

With the looming shutdown threatening the entire nation, the NLC and TUC stand firm in their resolve to fight for the rights of Nigerian workers. This strike serves as a strong statement against the government's stance on labor issues and the welfare of the working class.

As tensions rise and the countdown to June 3rd begins, the country braces itself for potential chaos and disruption as the labor unions gear up for a prolonged strike. The impact of this industrial action is expected to reverberate across various sectors, emphasizing the critical need for fair wages and affordable utilities.

In a plea for reconsideration, the Federal Government appeals to Organized Labor to rethink their decision and strive for a peaceful resolution. The ongoing negotiations and discussions between the government and labor unions underscore the delicate balance of power and the crucial role of dialogue in resolving conflicts peacefully.
