Unfortunately, the strike is dead on arrival

NLC should realize that the average Nigerian is not behind them this time around.

I'd rather buy fuel at 145 with ease than spend 6hours on queue and still buy at 200

Those wailing and supporting Subsidy are the true enemies of this country. Basic economic reasonings wuldnt do anyone any harm. Nigeria can't afford to continue paying subsidy

Don't just wail, bring forth sound reasonings and better alternatives

The FG's tactic worked on you I see. How are you even sure of it's availability @ N145? Wasn't it available @ N87 Couple months ago?

Since when do you speak for all Nigerians
Re: Ayuba Philibus Wabba Protests With NLC Members In Abuja - Photos by seunmsg(m):
Almost all federal government offices are opened for business. The strike is a big flop on all front. The Ayuba faction of NLC should just quietly join the TUC and Joe Ajaero faction to use this opportunity to negotiate for minimum wage increase to N45,000.

yeye talk from someone who may not even have a generator talk more of a vehicle. was ur salary increased along side the price of fuel?? U think it's just buying the fuel that matters. FYI, the cost of living has increased drastically. Go to the market and confirm it urself.

It's a pin to the butt to know that TUC backed out of this strike after many weeks of planning..... How do the FGN expect an average Nigerian with a minimum wage of #18,000 to cope with this present economy?

Now having dialogued with TUC, the FGN has agreed to review the minimum wage in 6months tym embarassed embarassedbut change in price of a litre of fuel can take immediate effect!What a shame embarassed embarassed embarassed

#smh....

The federal government of Nigeria has implored labour unions in the country not to go ahead with its planned strike for Wednesday, 18th May 2016.

Read Below:

OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY TO THE GOVERNMENT OF THE FEDERATION

PRESS RELEASE

PROPOSED INDEFINITE STRIKE ACTION BY THE NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESS

The attention of all Public Officers is drawn to the notice issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to embark on an indefinite strike from Wednesday, 18th May, 2016.

This notice is regrettably given in spite of an Order by the Industrial Court against the strike action.

Government, therefore, calls upon and advises all workers to respect the laws of the land and to desist from participating in an illegal strike action.

Government undertakes to guarantee the safety of workers and their work places, and expects that normal work will continue in the interest of the nation.

Accordingly, security agencies have been directed to ensure unimpeded access to offices, work places and markets. Acts of intimidation, harassment, including barricading of gates, locking up of offices, blocking of roads and preventing workers from carrying out their lawful duties will be met with appropriate response by the law enforcement agencies.

All workers, whether in public or private sector are further reminded of the Trade Dispute Act, 2004, which provides that ‘where any worker takes part in a strike, he shall not be entitled to any wages or remuneration for the period of the strike and any such period shall not count for the purpose of reckoning the period of continuous employment and all rights dependent on continuity of employment shall be prejudicially affected accordingly’.

Accordingly, all Ministers, Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Government Agencies are hereby directed to invoke the provision of ‘no work no pay’ in respect of any staff who absents him or herself from work to join the strike action.

Attendance registers are required to be opened in all Ministries, Departments and Agencies.

Engineer Babachir David Lawal

Secretary to the Government of the Federation

The evil FG used the 'go and die' governor to negotiate with a factional Labour Leader. This evil government is doing all in its power to ensure we suffer.
