Trade Union Congress (TUC) President Festus Osifo has declared that the union will proceed with its scheduled strike, despite an existing court order prohibiting it.

Osifo justified the decision by accusing the Federal Government of consistently disregarding court orders, setting what he deemed a negative precedent for labor unions.

In an interview on Arise TV, Osifo defended the union’s stance, citing instances where the government ignored court orders, such as the detention of Central Bank Governor Godwin Emefiele by the Department of State Services (DSS) against court directives for his release.

Expressing skepticism about the legitimacy of the court order against the TUC’s strike, Osifo raised the possibility that it might be a “black market injunction” aimed at undermining labor movements. He challenged the authorities to take action against all Nigerian workers if they were genuinely committed to enforcing the order.

Osifo, adopting a defiant tone, stated, “I don’t have any service. If you want to charge us to court, we are here. We are not running away; Nigeria is our own. We will fight for the soul of this country.”

Of course....I remember especially how they flouted court orders on ASUU and Nnamdi Kanu.
They thought no one is watching

Good.
Labour strike is the least of things Nigeria deserve at the moment. Even nuclear strike may not be a bad idea.

This government is just too wicked.

They were flouting court order with reckless abandon not knowing that others were learning from it.

Today, NLC doesn't care whether there was a court order restraining them from going on strike or not.

Nigeria is a confirmed Banana Republic

SERAP has won many cases against the FG but none has been obeyed by the government.
