cripple economic activities starting Wednesday
over a recent fuel hike, has suffered a major
setback.
According to a report , there is confusion among
the ranks of the unions. It's believed that its
planned strike may be scuttled by its affiliates as
well as civil society organisations in the country.
Some of the unions say they can't be coerced
into the activity by the NLC and the TUC.
“Let it be known that Movement Against
Corruption and Injustice (MACI) in all our state
branches will not join state labour union to
participate in the protest without official
invitation to any meeting where strategies and
line of action would be discussed," Bankole
Solomon, a major stakeholder, said.
The Nigeria Employers’ Consultative Association
(NECA), which is an umbrella body for private-
sector workers, as well as the National
Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers
(NAAPE) have also said they would not
participate in the strike.
In addition, the Abuja Chamber of Commerce and
Industry (ACCI), and other organizations are
pilling pressure on the unions not to go ahead
with the proposed strike.
NLC announced its decision to "Occupy Nigeria"
after the federal government hiked the pump
price of petrol to N145 per litre last week.
