The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have jointly debunked a purported strike notice circulating widely.
A notice circulating widely, purportedly signed by the General Secretary of NLC, Comrade Emmanuel Ugboaja, and Secretary General of TUC, Comrade Nuhu Toro, claimed an impending nationwide strike starting Monday, December 18, 2023.
The organised labour debunked the notice in as statement issued by Benson Upah, NLC head of information and public affairs, on Sunday in Abuja.
According to Mr Upah, the statement is fake news and there is no notice of strike from us.
“We want to re-assure Nigerians that this notice did not emanate from us, and neither do we have any intention of initiating any strike action this period,” he said.
He said concerned Nigerians were advised to ignore the notice and treat it as fake.
