Midwives And Nurses Announce Preparations To Participate In Indefinite Industrial Strike
This was stated in a notification of an ongoing statewide strike that was signed by a number of people, including the organization's secretary, T. A. Shettima, the national president, Nnachi Michael Ekuma, and the deputy national president, Shehu Abubakar.
"You would recall that the Federal Government announced the removal
of fuel subsidy during the inauguration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in May 2023," the letter said.
The President's choice has caused immeasurable suffering for Nigerian workers and the least fortunate.
"NLC leadership has placed numbers of requests as a means of alleviating the sufferings of the Nigerian workers without success.
"Several actions were instituted by the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress, ranging from mass street protest, 3 days warning strike and even several ultimatums, but the Federal Government remains a deaf ear to the warnings of the NLC.
"Consequently, the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress met on Tuesday 26th September 2023 and resolved to commence an indefinite strike.
"Given the above, I am directed to convey the decision of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) National Executive Council (NEC) meeting to commence nationwide indefinite industrial action with effect from Tuesday 3rd October."
