BREAKING: Court stops NLC, TUC from embarking on strike over petrol subsidy removal
The National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Abuja division, has restrained the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) from embarking on strike over the removal of petrol subsidy.
The federal government had asked the court for an interim injunction restraining the labour unions from proceeding on the strike scheduled to begin on Wednesday.
Delivering the ruling on Monday, OY Anuwe, the presiding judge, said the unions should halt the planned strike pending the hearing and determination of the ex parte motion filed by the federal government.
