The Nigerian Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress on Tuesday announced Tuesday November 14 as the date for the commencement of a nationwide strike.
The decision was reached after an extraordinary meeting of the unions held in Abuja on Tuesday.
Though the unions were yet to make an official statement as at the time of filing this report, it was gathered that it was resolved after hours of deliberations by the leadership that the nation be shut down.
NPO Reported earlier that the unions had summoned a meeting where they planned to discuss modalities for the proposed strike.
The strike is premised on the need to protest the attacks on the president of the NLC, Joe Ajaero in Owerri, the Imo state capital last week during a protest.
