The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has given the Federal Government a seven-day ultimatum to reverse all perceived anti-poor policies or face an indefinite nationwide strike from August 2.
The decision, according to the Union, followed a meeting of its Central Working Committee (CWC) held on Tuesday, July 25, at Abuja Labour House.

The Committee condemned the recent hike in the pump price of petrol as well as the payment of N8,000 to 12 million Nigerians.
Consequently, the Congress directed all its affiliates unions and state councils to immediately begin mobilization of workers for a long-lasting strike and mass protests should the Government fail to meet its demands.
