The National Industrial Court has issued a restraining order against the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Trade Union Congress (TUC), and their affiliates, preventing them from embarking on the planned nationwide strike scheduled for November 14.
The court granted the restraining order following an ex-parte application by the Federal Government of Nigeria and the Attorney General of the Federation, citing potential hardships and a likelihood of a breach of peace.
The court invoked sections 17 and 19 of the National Industrial Court Act in issuing the order.
Daily Post reports that the the Federal Government and the AGF through their lawyer, Tijani Gazali said the move was to avert untold hardships that would be inflicted on innocent law abiding citizens and their businesses.
Meanwhile, the case file has been transferred to Justice Olufunke Anuwe who is said to be handling similar labour dispute related matters.
