Indefinite Strike: United Front Of Civil Societies Lambasts Tinubu Government, Vows To Enforce Sit-At-Home
The United Action Front of Civil Society has said it has fully endorsed the indefinite nationwide strike action jointly declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) and vowed to enforce a sit-at-home.
The organised platform of civil society groups and activists on matters of governance and democracy in Nigeria, called on Nigerians to rally behind NLC and TUC in protest against the insensitivity and dubious politics of the Nigerian government, which has, so far, demonstrated total lack of comprehension and sensitivity to the economic challenges facing the country.
SaharaReporters reported that the organised labour declared the indefinite strike scheduled to begin on Tuesday October 3, 2023.
Action Front, however, noted that the declaration for indefinite strike became imperative following the expiration of a two-day warning strike earlier embarked upon by the NLC on September 5 and 6 over the failure of the President Bola Tinubu’s administration to demonstrate commitment to implementing a series of agreements and pledges which the government reneged upon as well as the 21-day ultimatum.
