The leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress have summoned an extraordinary National Executive Council meeting to review the modalities of the planned strike following the alleged brutalisation of the National President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero
National Vice President of the TUC, Tommy Etim, made this known in an interview stating that the meeting is also expected to review the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the Federal Government and the Organized Labour on October 2, 2023 on fuel subsidy removal.
Recall that the organised labour, last Friday issued a five-day ultimatum over the arrest of Ajaero, by the police in Owerri, demanding the redeployment of the commissioner of police in the state and the arrest and prosecution of the aide of the government who was alleged to have perpetrated the attack.
They also threatened to embark on a nationwide industrial action if their demands were not met in five days from Friday.
NLC’s Head of Information, Benson Upah in a statement said Ajaero was arrested by the police ahead of the state-wide protest in Imo on Wednesday.
