Nigeria Labor Congress Set To Ramp Up Action As Strike Remains Feeble

The Nigerian Labor Congress (NLC) today barred all traders and artisans using the union’s building in Yaba from selling or displaying their wares as Nigeria entered into the second day of protests against President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to sharply increase the price of fuel. A union member who identified himself simply as Lanre described the action as a case of charity beginning at home. “It is not right for the traders and artisans to open today or any day until the strike is suspended. If they open, it shows that we cannot even control our house.”

 

But some of the irate traders said they were more concerned about the disruption of their means of livelihood, adding that they did not ask labor leaders to fight for them. A female trader, who said she was not interested in participating in the strike, expressed her nonchalance. “If they like they should strike till next year, I don’t care. The labor congress should not fight or stop me from opening my shop. Some of them voted for Buhari; they should not complain,” she said.
