Regardless of the government’s offer, the NLC insists on going ahead with its threatened strike.

On Tuesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is set to begin a two-day warning strike, which the Nigerian government hopes to prevent.

The NLC claims the government has stopped responding to their requests for negotiations and has ignored previous agreements reached.

In addition to the police siege on the National Union of Road Transport Workers’ national headquarters, the union has listed six other grievances, such as the Abia State Government’s interference in union matters and the proposed demolition of homes by the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.

The government reportedly expressed willingness to meet with the NLC on Monday in an effort to prevent the strike through negotiation.

Mohammad Idris, minister of information and national orientation, said the government is “hoping the warning strike can be averted” and that both sides are “still engaged in discussions and have started to understand each other’s position more.”

The NLC says it is willing to negotiate, but that there will be “no going back” on the two-day warning strike.

Union chief Joe Ajaero has justified the walkout by saying it’s essential to “cushion the effects of the removal of petrol subsidy on the ‘poor masses'” and “address the excruciating mass suffering and impoverishment being experienced around the country.”

The strike may cause major disruptions in the transportation, manufacturing, and other sectors of the Nigerian economy. A strike would be a major setback for the government’s economic reform agenda, so they’re hoping to prevent it.

On Monday, the two parties will get together to try and work out a compromise. The strike will begin on Tuesday if they are unable to reach an agreement.

Assistant National Secretary Christopher Onyeka said that the union has not been invited to any meetings with the government but is open to having them.

“The labour movement is a talking shop where agreements are made. The government has been the one ducking out on the table, not us.
