The Presidency has condemned the decision of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to initiate a nationwide strike beginning from midnight of November 13, 2023, labelling the decision as an “ ego tripping move” and an act of unwarranted blackmail against the government.
The special adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, in a statement on Monday night, asserted that calling workers to a national strike over an individual issue violates a subsisting court order and amounts to an abuse of privilege by the labour leadership. Highlighting the government’s commitment to investigating the assault on the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, Onanuga emphasized that power at any level should not be wielded to settle personal scores but rather used to promote collective progress and national interest. The Presidential aide criticised the labour leaders for what he perceived as a disregard for the judiciary and an erosion of the traditional championing of the rule of law by the labour movement
