The Nigeria Labour Congress NLC Mobilises For Strike Action

The Mobilisation for the two-day nationwide protest by Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, in solidarity with striking university workers, is on top gear.

Other critical industrial unions have keyed into the protest.

This came as NLC berated the Minister of Information, Lai Muhammed, for accusing it of planning to cause anarchy with the planned protest scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, saying the Minister is happy that while his children and those of others like him are graduating from universities outside Nigeria, children of the poor have been shut out of Nigeria universities for the past five months.

Non-Academic Staff Union of Educational and Associated Institutions, NASU, National Association of Academic Technologists, NAAT, and Senior Staff Association of Nigerian Universities, SSANU, have equally downed tools for over six months because of pending issues with the Federal Government.

Despite the fact that ASUU's agitation affect mostly Federal Government owned-universities, state chapters of ASUU, NASU, NAAT and SSANU in state owned-universities, have been on strike for the same length of time. This is in solidarity and in keeping with the slogan that an injury to one is an injury to all.

Tuesday and Wednesday this week, have been declared as protest days in solidarity with the striking university unions, in all state capitals and Abuja.

NLC had, in a circular to its state councils and affiliates, dated July 15, 2022 and signed by its President and General Secretary, Ayuba Wabba and Emma Ugboaja respectively, said,

“In line with the decision of the National Executive Council, NEC, meeting of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, held on the 30th of June 2022, we have scheduled as follows the National Days of Protest to get our children back to school and support our unions in Nigeria’s public universities fighting for quality education."
