The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to go on strike if the lingering Naira and fuel scarcity in the country was not resolved by the federal government.
NLC has, therefore, handed down a seven day ultimatum to government to end the crises in the country or have them to contend with at the expiration of the ultimatum.
President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, gave the ultimatum on Monday in Abuja, at the opening session of the Central Working Committee meeting of the labour union.
Ajaero frowned at the hardship being faced by Nigerians following the naira redesign policy of the Federal Government and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
He warned that on the expiration of the seven days, workers would be directed to stay away from work if nothing was done to ameliorate the situation.
His words, “On this issue of fuel scarcity and cash crunch, the Congress wishes to inform the Federal Government that we will no longer keep quiet.
“The NLC is giving the Central Bank of Nigeria and the FG seven working days, if they fail to do the needful at the expiration of the seven days, all workers in Nigeria should stay at home.”
