NLC threatens nationwide strike
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) have given the Federal Government a November 8 strike notice over the attack on NLC President Joe Ajaero and other union leaders in Imo State on Wednesday.
The unions, in a statement issued on Friday, gave the government a six-point demand, including the immediate removal of the Commissioner of Police, Imo State and Area Commander, among other officials, for their alleged complicity in the attack.
The unions also demanded the immediate arrest and prosecution of all those involved in the attack, as well as compensation for the victims.

They also demanded a public apology from the Imo State Government and the Inspector-General of Police, as well as a guarantee that such an attack would never happen again.
The unions said they would embark on a nationwide strike if the government fails to meet their demands within the next five days.
