The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has warned that it will direct the withdrawal of services of all workers in Nigeria should the Federal Government fail to resolve the lingering strike by the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) which has kept students at home for about six months.
NLC President, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, said this on Friday during an Arise TV interview monitored by LEGIT
According to Wabba, last month’s NLC protest has not yielded the desired results and the union is prepared to, as a matter of last resort, deploy workers’ power which is the withdrawal of services of all the workers in Nigeria.
“A whole academic year has been lost and we are toying with the future of these children, no justifiable reason is good enough to say why we cannot address the issue, and that is why NLC had to wade I,” he said
“I think at the point we are at, we must also act. What you can do today, why should you wait to do tomorrow? So time is of the essence and that is why we are doing that consultation and after the consultation, we’ll also communicate our position to the government.
