The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on
Monday threatened to join the Academic
Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) in
solidarity strike if the Federal Government
failed to address the ASUU demands.
NLC President, Abdulwaheed Omar, made
the threat at the opening ceremony of the
“2013 Rain School” in Uyo.
“We call on the Federal Government to
have meaningful dialogue with ASUU with
a view to implementing the agreement.
“The State Governments should equally
obey the law and pay minimum wage to
teachers and the local government
workers as well as the 27.5 per cent
teacher's enhanced salaries.
“Should these strikes persist, workers of
Nigeria will not hesitate to join them in
solidarity," he stressed. Source: The Punch
