PHCN: NLC Gives FG One-Week Strike Notice

Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has issued a one-week ultimatum to the Federal Government to withdraw armed soldiers from the Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, headquarters and other installations and commence meaningful negotiations with the workers on the outstanding labour issues or face a nationwide industrial strike.
This came as it demanded far reaching action on insecurity  in the country, corruption, crude oil theft,  trial of fuel subsidy scam suspects, murder of Olaitan Oyerinde, among others. It insisted on prosecution of all the accused and warned against the frustration of the trial process in any way or form.

At the end of its National Executive Council, NEC, meeting in Benin City, Edo State, the NLC called on the Federal Government  to not only  do more to secure the lives and property of its citizens in fulfillment of its social contract, but also to quickly find solutions to end this spate of alarming insecurity.
Briefing newsmen on the communique, President of NLC, Comrade Abdulwaheed Omar, called for prosecution of all the accused and warned against the frustration of the trial process in any way or form, insisting that anything to the contrary could attract grave consequences.
