A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has granted an interim order restraining the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) from going on strike from Wednesday as planned, until the determination of the motion on notice.
Justice O. Y. Anuwe issued the order on Monday, June 5, 2023, and adjourned further hearing till 19 June.
Recall that the NLC has mobilised its members for an indefinite strike over the fuel subsidy removal.
The NLC shunned the meeting with the Federal Government delegation held at the Presidential Villa, on Sunday, June 4, 2023, stating that there would be no discussion unless the government returns the price of fuel to its previous rate.
