Kwara state branch of the Nigeria Labour
Congress(NLC) on Tuesday ordered the workers and residents of the state
to stay indoors as from this Wednesday despite the court order that

over the alleged refusal of the federal government to reduce the petrol
price to N86 per litre from N145 per litre.
This is contained in a press release issued by Joint Kwara Labour Congress comprising of the NLC and the TUC in the state.
According to the statement jointly
signed by the chairmen of the two labour unions, Comrade Yekini Kareem
Agunbiade of the NLC and Kolawole Olumoh Nasir of the TUC, “The Kwara
State councils of the NLC/TUC in line with the directive of the national
headquarters of the two umbrella unions will embark on strike if the
federal government fails to accede to the demands on or before 12
midnight on Tuesday, May 17, 2016, the NLC/TUC and their civil societies
allies will commence the strike on Wednesday, May,18, 2016”.
“We seriously urge every worker and the masses of Kwara state to remain indoors until further notice,” the statement concluded.
