The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has commended Nigerians for their massive support and efforts in ensuring that the first day of the warning strike called by the congress was successful nationwide.

Joe Ajaero, NLC president, in a statement titled, “Our Two-Day Nationwide Warning Strike: First Day of Success”, applauded Nigerian workers through the actions of all NLC affiliates and state councils.

“This is for the massive support and efforts at ensuring that the first day of the nationwide warning strike took off with a resounding success across the nation,” Mr Ajaero said.

“You have all demonstrated that your words and decisions will always be backed by action.”

NLC had declared a two-day nationwide warning strike from September 5 and 6 unless the federal government addresses the excruciating suffering of the masses.

Mr Ajaero said the NLC’s objectives for the first day of the warning strike were fully met due to all collective efforts around the federation.

“We, however, urge you all to continue with the same zeal and determination which saw the huge success that was recorded today.

“This is as we move to the second and final day of the nationwide strike to ensure a complete success of the entire exercise,” he said.

He, however, called for more efforts and urged all to join hands to ensure that all loopholes observed during the first day of the action were plugged.
