Joe Ajaero, the NLC President, informed media in Abuja that all economic activity will cease nationwide as of next Wednesday.
Beginning the next week, all employees are to demonstrate against the nation’s present cash shortage at all Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) offices nationwide, according to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC).
Joe Ajaero, the president of the NLC, met media in Abuja and stated that while the nationwide economic shutdown would start on Wednesday, mobilisation for the exercise will start on Friday.
The Federal Government was given a seven-day deadline by the NLC to take quick action to mitigate the effects of the cash constraint and gasoline shortage situation, or risk labour unrest from Nigerian workers.
According to Ajaero, the Congress decided to take industrial action as a final resort after pleading with the Federal Government via various routes to address the extreme suffering that Nigerian residents and workers are going through as a result of the ongoing cash shortage.
