Northern Csos Pull Out Of NLC Strike by Flathead8: 5:25pm On Aug 01, 2023 |
Less than 24 hours to Wednesday’s planned nationwide strike and mass protest by the Nigeria Labour Congress, 16 Northern-based civil society groups under the aegis of the Coalition of Arewa Civil Society Organisations have pulled out on the grounds that the indefinite strike action will damage the fragile economy and cause more hardship to the ordinary citizens. The NLC had given the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum with threats of a nationwide strike scheduled to commence on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, and directed all its affiliates and civil society groups across the 36 states of the federation to mobilise workers and Nigerians for a long-lasting strike should the government fail to meet its demands. Earlier, the NLC in a statement signed by its National President, Joe Ajaero, had accused the Tinubu government of failing to meet up with the demands it presented to it following the removal of subsidy on petrol. “But after a critical study of the disadvantages and overall consequences on the masses, we decided to pull out immediately and asked the labour unions and Federal Government to rather embrace dialogue on mitigating measures,” the CSOs stated. The decision to pull out was contained in a statement jointly signed by Chairman and Secretary of the Arewa Coalition, Comrade Ibraheem Suleman Dogo, and Comrade Friday Luka Dalung, according to the groups, because the planned strike action was not the best way to resolve problems emerging from the current harsh economic conditions caused by the removal of fuel subsidy. They added that the strike would cripple the country as movement would be severely curtailed with markets, schools, and healthcare facilities forced to shut down. The statement further reads: “We can’t afford to go back to the days when the Federal Government used monies meant for the development of public infrastructure; education, health care, and jobs for payment of subsidy to rich marketers. “We can’t also continue to feed smugglers and act as ‘Father Christmas’ to neighbouring countries. “It is for these reasons we recommend dialogue and more robust discussion on the matters arising from fuel subsidy removal. “It would be recalled that President Tinubu, while addressing Nigerians on June 12 Democracy Day commemoration said he decided to free the country’s resources from the stranglehold of unpatriotic elements. “We expect the labour unions and relevant stakeholders to look beyond the harsh policies now and consider the future of a sustainable economy that will bring about overall development across all spheres of life. “However, between now and tomorrow, Wednesday, August 2, we urge the Federal Government to invite representatives of organised Labour to stop the nationwide strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress.” https://punchng.com/northern-csos-pull-out-of-nlc-strike/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

Let ibos carry on with their strike, after all, they are already sitting at home for two weeks. Gone are days where they will deceive Nigerians like endsars era. They refused to protest during naira redesigned saga, because it favors their candidate even in the face of people dying. All man should answer him papa name. We are not striking in South west. 14 Likes 4 Shares |

They are not recognize by Labour. I see no big issue if NLC decide to protest across the 36 States and the FCT tomorrow. I will only be against the protest if it holds only in Lagos state alone. And the protesters shouldn't block the road. 1 Like 1 Share |

I think they should allow NLC to protest so far it is going to be a peaceful protest. However, I will agree to NLC going on another strike. They can protest for one day to lay their grievances about the nation and this will also put the presidency on their toes to hasten the rollout of the agenda and palliative/minimum wage they have in place. It seems the NLC president he has to do something in the open to make it look like he too is fighting for workers and not staying idle. Lastly, we all know NLC president is working for Obi, but Jagaban sure knows how to handle that kind of scenario. 3 Likes 1 Share |
