Labour yesterday announced plans to hold a nationwide protest on December 17 over insecurity in the country.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) strike notice is contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the NLC National Executive Council (NEC) meeting in Lagos.

The communiqué was signed by NLC President Mr Joe Ajaero and Acting General Secretary Benson Upah.

It stated that the NEC deliberated on pressing national and industrial issues, including the recent abduction of 24 schoolgirls in Kebbi.

The communiqué said that the NEC condemned the kidnapping and killing of school staffer during the incident and criticised the withdrawal of security personnel from the affected school prior to the attack.

It described the surge in attacks on schools as alarming, and called on the Federal Government to secure all schools, particularly those in remote and vulnerable areas.
The NEC resolved to mobilise all NLC affiliates and state councils for the protest, and demanded immediate investigation and prosecution of those responsible for the security lapses.

According to the communiqué, other key issues discussed at the meeting include the crisis in the tertiary education sector , the ongoing strike by the Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU), and the revival of the Labour–Civil Society Coalition (LASCO).


The communiqué further warned that failure of the Federal Government to address insecurity and other pressing issues could lead to escalated industrial actions across various sectors, including health and education.

It stated that workers’ safety and welfare remained a top priority in NLC’s advocacy and urged citizens to join hands with workers in demanding a safer nation.
