JUST IN: Enugu Workers Shun NLC, TUC Strike Directive, Resume at Duty Posts

Workers in Enugu State have defied a directive from the national leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to embark on an indefinite nationwide strike,

POLITICS NIGERIA gathered that the workers have resumed at their various duty posts on Tuesday.

In some areas of Enugu, the state capital, banks were observed rendering services to their customers. Workers of some government agencies also resumed work early in the morning.

At the government revenue office along Zik Avenue, workers were in their various offices, while a bank along Agbani Road was also rendering services to customers.

Both private and government schools also did not observe the strike.

A civil servant, who spoke on condition of anonymity, blamed the leadership of both NLC and TUC over the non-compliance with the strike directive, saying they failed to act when the ovation was loudest.

There was heavy vehicular movement on the major roads of Enugu city while the markets were open for businesses.

The indefinite nationwide strike action was declared by the Organised Labour in protest to the arrest and brutalisation of the NLC President, Joe Ajaero, allegedly by Police operatives in Owerri, Imo State, on November 1.
