The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Ayuba Wabba, has said that the workers’ union will embark on a three-day nationwide strike if the Federal Government fails to grant the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), after the ongoing two-day warning protest.
“The two-day warning strike is to call for attention for the issues to be resolved promptly. The next level is a three-day national warning strike if nothing has happened after the protest, to show our grievances.
“We are not on a solidarity action, we are affected directly,” he said.
NLC had organised the two-day protest after a series of failed negotiations between the FG and ASUU to resolve the strike action.
Wabba, who stated that the ongoing protest was a democratic norm which was constitutional and supported by the international charters, added that it was not illegal to carry out such demonstration on the streets.
