NLC Is Directly Affected By ASUU Strike – Ayuba Wabba

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Ayuba Wabba has come out to say that the workers’ union will embark on a three-day nationwide strike if the Federal Government fails to succumb to the demands of the Academic Staff Union of Universities after the ongoing two-day warning protest organised by the NLC.

He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the workers’ union embarked on a two-day protest against the ongoing ASUU strike recently, not just as a show of solidarity, but because the strike directly affected the NLC.

Ayuba added that NLC’s decision will not be a solidarity action because they are affected directly.

His words, “The two-day warning strike is to call for attention for the issues to be resolved promptly. The next level is a three-day national warning strike if nothing has happened after the protest, to show our grievances.”

“We are not on a solidarity action, we are affected directly.”

“These are democratic norms everywhere in the world. Even as an individual, you have the right to air your grievances.”
