The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has debunked reports making the rounds indicating a purported nationwide strike scheduled to commence on Monday, December 18.
A statement issued and made available to DAILY POST on Sunday by the NLC’s Head of Information and Public Affairs, Beson Upah said the notice circulating on social media was fake.
He called on Nigerians to disregard the notice, stressing that there was no intention to embark on any strike action.
The statement reads, “It has been brought to our attention a notice of a strike action (purportedly signed by the General Secretary of NLC and Secretary General of TUC, Comrades Emmanuel Ugboaja and Nuhu Toro, respectively) to commence tomorrow, Monday, December 18 across the country.
“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.
“Accordingly, concerned Nigerians are advised to ignore this notice. It is fake”.
