NLC National President, Mr. Ayuba Wabba, has warned that the workers’ union will embark on a three-day nationwide strike if the Federal Government fails to agree to the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities after the ongoing two-day warning protest organised by the NLC.
Wabba issued the warning during an interview with Channels TV ‘Sunrise Daily.’
He also stated that the workers’ union embarked on a two-day protest against the ongoing ASUU strike not just as a show of solidarity, but because the strike directly affected the NLC.
He said, “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.”
“It is within the provision of our law. It is backed by the United Nations charter for human and peoples rights, African charter for human and peoples rights, and it is there in our constitution — sections 39 and 40.”
Recall before the protest, the Minister for Information Lai Mohammed claimed that the protest was illegal and would create anarchy in the country.
