The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), have instructed workers to begin a nationwide strike from midnight today.

The President of TUC, Festus Osifo disclosed this to newsmen earlier today, saying that the strike would begin at midnight and would remain so until the government fulfills its responsibility.

The Congress’ decision to begin an indefinite strike came despite an order by the National Industrial Court (NIC), in Abuja, restraining the NLC and TUC and their forces from embarking on any industrial action.
