The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have jointly dismissed a purported strike notice circulating widely, indicating that it has nothing to do with the notice.
A notice circulating widely, purportedly signed by the General Secretary of NLC, Comrade Emmanuel Ugboaja, and Secretary General of TUC, Comrade Nuhu Toro, claimed an impending nationwide strike starting Monday, December 18.
But Head of Information and Public Affairs representing both labour unions, Benson Upah refuted the notice, describing it as false.
“We wish to unequivocally state that neither the NLC nor the TUC has sanctioned or issued any directive for a strike action set to begin on Monday, December 18,” said Upah.
“This notice circulating widely is entirely false and should be disregarded by the public.”
