On Tuesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress instructed workers in Imo State to stop working throughout the state starting from Tuesday night.
The NLC and TUC Secretaries-General, Emmanuel Ugboaja and Nuhu Toro respectively, released a statement stating that the strike only applies to members of their organizations in the state.
“This is to remind all affiliates of the resolutions of the Joint emergency CWC meeting of the NLC and TUC where the unfortunate May Day development in Imo State was discussed.
“Consequently, all affiliates are kindly requested to issue the necessary directives to their state council in Imo State to embark on a comprehensive withdrawal of their services in the state by midnight today in compliance with the Joint CWC decision.
“Do remain assured of the vigilance and determination of the Leadership of the Congress to creatively engage all forms of anti-workers practices all over the nation. Your participation is therefore key to achieving our collective objectives.”
