The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has given President Bola Ahmed Tinubu a seven-day ultimatum to reverse all its perceived anti-poor policies, including the recent hike in the pump price of petrol or face indefinite nationwide strike from August 2nd.

“Consequently, the NLC has directed all its affiliates and state councils to immediately begin mobilisation of workers and other Nigerians, including civil society allies, for a long-lasting strike and mass protests should the government fail to meet its demands,” NLC stated.

Vanguard newspaper which broke the news said this was one of the decisions reached at NLC’s Central Working Committee, CWC, meeting held Tuesday, July 25, at Abuja Labour House.
