The Federal Government should brace for a three-day nationwide strike across all sectors if the crisis in the nation’s public universities is left unresolved, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has warned.
Scores of unions in various critical sectors such as aviation, electricity, and petroleum among others, are affiliated with the labour union.
NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, gave the warning yesterday on Channels Television’s breakfast show, Sunrise Daily, amid the protest by members of the union across the country.
“The protest first is to show our concern and to also call for urgent action to resolve the issues. We took two levels of decision,” he said while highlighting the importance of the protest.
“First is the national protest to call for attention and for the issues to be resolved promptly, and the next level is three days national warning strike if nothing has happened after the protest to show our grievances.”
