The Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, has denied claims that a nationwide strike will begin on Monday, December 18.
According to a statement released on Sunday by the NLC’s Head of Information and Public Affairs, Beson Upah, the notice circulating on social media was a hoax.
He urged Nigerians to reject the notice, emphasizing that no strike action was planned.
The statement reads, “It has been brought to our attention a notice of a strike action (purportedly signed by the General Secretary of NLC and Secretary General of TUC, Comrades Emmanuel Ugboaja and Nuhu Toro, respectively) to commence tomorrow, Monday, December 18 across the country.
“We want to re-assure Nigerians that this notice did not emanate from us, and neither do we have any intention of initiating any strike action this period.
“Accordingly, concerned Nigerians are advised to ignore this notice. It is fake”.
