Breaking! Naira Scarcity - NLC Declares Nationwide Strike Action

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed public sector workers in the country to embark on strike on Wednesday next week.

The NLC president, Joe Ajaero, gave the directive at a media briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.

He also directed that affiliate unions constituting the NLC should be on standby for picketing exercises across all branches of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) nationwide.

The NLC had earlier issued a seven-day ultimatum to the federal government to end the petrol and cash scarcity being encountered in the country.

Ajaero told journalists, that following the expiration of the ultimatum given, the industrial action became the last resolve of the NLC.

He also said that the federal government and the CBN have failed to show any commitment to addressing the dilemma, so the decision to picket CBN branches became necessary.

"Based on this, we met again this morning to review our position and resolved that by Wednesday next week all CBN branches will be picketed, workers are directed to stay at home too because people cannot eat, workers can no longer go to the office, we have been pushed to the wall.

“We have decided to take our destiny in our hands, we have mobilised our workers on this exercise.”
