The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has officially brought its two-day warning strike to a close.

In response to this development, the union has issued a directive to its members across the nation, urging them to return to work.

In a statement released on Wednesday, NLC President Joe Ajaero expressed satisfaction with the progress made during the strike. The strike, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday, was organized by the labour union to protest the Federal Government’s failure to meet its commitments regarding the removal of petrol subsidies.

The labour strike had a significant impact, disrupting economic and commercial activities in various states across the federation.

However, with the strike now concluded, normal work activities are expected to resume.

“We are pleased to report that, thanks to your resolute commitment, we have made significant strides in achieving the goals set during our National Executive Council (NEC) meeting, which prompted the initiation of this warning strike,” Ajaero said.

“It is abundantly clear that our united message has resonated loudly with the government, and it would take a truly inattentive ear not to hear it. 

“As we mark the end of the two-day nationwide warning strike today, at the stroke of midnight, we earnestly call upon you all to gracefully conclude the strike and return to work tomorrow, in accordance with our initial agreement.”
