Recall that the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the labour unions on Monday, November 13, 2023, in Abuja resolved to embark on the strike to protest the attack on the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, in Imo State.
The development resulted from the Federal Government’s alleged failure to address issues affecting workers, such as the minimum wage, insecurity, corruption, and poor governance.
Also, unions had made some demands, which the government had allegedly failed to address following the recent crisis in Imo that resulted in the assault of Ajaero and other members of the labour unions.
Below are some of the unions that have complied with the directives include.
