The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has called on workers to return to work on Thursday, as the two-day warning strike called by the Congress has ended.
Mr Joe Ajaero, NLC President announced the end of the strike Wednesday in a statement released in Abuja, titled, âThe two-day Nationwide Warning Strike: Nigerian Workers Have Spokenâ.
Workers embarked on a two-day nationwide strike on Tuesday and Wednesday, over the demands on government to roll out relief measures in the wake of petrol subsidy removal.
The decision by the Labour grounded economic and commercial activities in some states of the Federation. But it was ignored in Lagos and some other states.
Ajaero , while commending all, for their commitment noted that significant strides were made in achieving the goals set by the National Executive Council.
According to him, it is abundantly clear that our united message has resonated loudly with the government, and it would take a truly inattentive ear not to hear it.
âAs we mark the end of the two-day nationwide warning strike today, at the stroke of midnight.
âWe earnestly call upon you all to gracefully conclude the strike and return to work tomorrow, in accordance with our initial agreement.
âWe would like to take this moment to express our profound appreciation for your unwavering determination and dedication, which played a pivotal role in the resounding success of this action.
âYour contributions during this warning strike exemplify your unwavering commitment to our shared cause,âhe said.
He said that in the event that the government failed to provide the appropriate responses to the demands, the Congress encourage all to maintain thei steadfast resolve.
He added that, the same passion and determination that fueled this warning strike will be crucial if we find ourselves compelled to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike.
The NLC president therefore, commended all affiliates, state councils, and esteemed members for their unwavering support and active participation in the two-day nationwide warning strike.
âThis collective effort was undertaken to emphasize our strong conviction that the government should prioritise the welfare of our citizens and adhere to our established statutes.
âCongress is not unmindful of the actions of detractors and fifth columnists but in the face of them all, we remain undaunted and more committed to the defence of Nigerian workers and people at any given time. Our nation deserves better.
â Together, we shall continue to work tirelessly to ensure that the voice of the people is heard and that our country mBREAKING: NLC ends 2-day strike
