FG asks NLC to postpone the planned 2-day warning strike

Nigerian workers were told by the minister that their government will never take them for granted.The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has been urged by the federal government to postpone its planned 2-day nationwide warning strike over financial hardship.At a news conference on Monday in Abuja, the Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, announced the decision. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the NLC announced it will begin a 2-day statewide warning strike from September 5 to September 6 in a communique released at the conclusion of its National Executive Council (NLC). In addition, the NLC vowed to start a statewide strike that would last forever if the Federal Government did not alleviate Nigerians' terrible suffering within 14 working days or 21 days after the communique's release.
