The Organised Labour Unions, Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, and the Trade Union Congress, TUC, on Tuesday, declared a nationwide strike.
It was gathered that the strike will commence next Tuesday, November 14, 2023.
The leadership of the two unions resolved after an extraordinary National Executive Council, NEC, meeting on Tuesday in Abuja.
The organized labour directed mobilization of members and allies across the country in protest against the brutalisation of the NLC National President, Joe Ajaero last week in Imo State.
The Union had accused the Commissioner of Police in Imo State, Mohammed Barde of complicity in the recent attack on Ajaero, in Owerri.
The Labour last Friday handed the Federal Government a five-day ultimatum to replace the police commissioner, while also blaming the Imo State Governor, Hope Uzodimma for the attack on Ajaero.
The governor however, said he had no hand in the attack on the labour leader.
The organised labour also demanded the arrest and prosecution of some of the governor’s aides and threatened to embark on a nationwide industrial action if their demands were not carried out.
