He also noted that the union leaders secured the commitment of the NSA.
Etim noted that the union leaders were satisfied with the NSA’s steps so far.
“We commend the steps taken so far by the NSA. He made us understand that he didn’t see the issue on the ground as a political fight. He also noted that two people have been arrested in line with the brutalisation of Ajaero. Initially, the government felt the strike would not hold.
