BREAKING: NLC vows to go on strike

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has vowed to go ahead with its planned strike despite the ruling of the National Industrial Court.

Benson Upah, the union’s head of information, confirmed this to TheCable late Tuesday.

Babatunde Adejumo, president of the court, gave the order on Tuesday, following a suit filed by Abubakar Malami, attorney-general of the federation (AGF).

Ruling on the exparte application filed by Malami, Adejumo ordered parties to maintain the status quo until the hearing and determination of the exparte motion.

He also directed the government to dialogue with the NLC towards an amicable resolution of their dispute.
