The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) publicly dismissed a recent circular addressing state councils of the NLC and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria, TUC affiliate unions, which called for a strike on December 18, 2023.
The circular, supposedly signed by the General Secretary of the NLC, Comrade Emma Ugbaja, and the Secretary General of the TUC, Comrade Nuhu Toro, instructed affiliate unions to halt their services on the specified date. However, the circular, labeled "NLC/TUC Nationwide Strike Action: A Gentle Reminder," did not provide a reason for the proposed strike.
When asked to confirm its authenticity, Comrade Emma Ugbaja stated that the circular was "absolutely fake" and urged workers to disregard it, as it was not issued by the two labor centers.
