Nigeria Labour Congress Await National Executive Council to Determine Strike Action....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The 21-day ultimatum issued to the Federal Government by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) concluded on Friday, leaving workers eager to learn the next course of action planned by the labor union.
The ultimatum reached its conclusion earlier today (Friday), but employees belonging to NLC affiliate unions nationwide have reported that they are yet to receive mobilization instructions from the NLC headquarters in Abuja.
On September 5 and 6, the NLC initiated a two-day warning strike.
Commenting on the situation, Emmanuel Upah, a representative, stated, “If you go back to the Communique issued, it was emphatic on when the ultimatum will expire; which is tomorrow but it was not emphatic on when the action will start. That leaves that at the discretion of the NEC (National Executive Council).”
While discussions between Labor and the Federal Government concerning post-subsidy removal support for workers, particularly at the federal level, have not been concluded, both government officials and NLC leaders described their recent talks as “fruitful.”
The meeting was convened following a request from the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong.
Some of the key demands put forth by NLC and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) include wage adjustments, tax exemptions and allowances for public sector workers, the provision of Compressed Natural Gas buses, the release of modalities for the N70 billion fund for Small and Medium Enterprises, the release of National Union of Road Transport Workers officials detained by the police, and the resolution of the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria crisis in Lagos, among others.
Additional demands encompass the immediate reversal of all anti-poor policies of the Federal Government, including the recent hike in petrol prices, the increase in public school fees, the release of eight months’ withheld salaries for university teachers and workers, and the rise in Value Added Tax (VAT).
NLC President Joe Ajaero emphasized Labor’s readiness to engage with the government at any time to address their demands and prevent the planned strike. However, he noted that decisions regarding the presented demands rest with the Presidency.
