PROGRESS REPORT: This is how far the NLC strike has gone

After days of failed negotiations with government and harsh criticisms from some Nigerians, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) on Wednesday commenced its strike action to protest the recent hike in pump price of petrol.

On Tuesday, the Federal Government, outside negotiations, made two moves to stop the strike. First, it obtained a National Industrial Court order to restrain the NLC from going on strike. Secondly, it invoked the “no work, no pay” rule, asking ministries, departments and agencies to open a register this morning.

However, while the Federal Government’s plans seemed to have failed, the NLC strike also seems to have failed as a lot of Nigerians and organisations have dissociated themselves from the industrial action.

Although, some other Nigerians think that making the NLC irrelevant at this point is a sign of worse things to come.

Below are some of the diverse views being aired by Nigerians:

JJ. OmojuwaVerified account ‏@Omojuwa 8h8 hours ago

The way people were pulling out of the NLC strike, no one expected it to birth anything tangible. You can’t strike for its sake alone.

Ohagwu ChukwuEmeka ‏@Emeka_SGen 8h8 hours agoLagos, Nigeria

1. The NLC who don’t protest when students are at home, Doctors are not paid, Senate fail to pass the PIB, now want a strike #NLCStrike=Wash

I Am Enyene!!! ‏@ThaVincent 9h9 hours ago

The NLC lost its credibility since 2012! Unfortunately, the current division in its leadership is biting them right at the ass!

Earthenware ‏@EarthenwareJ 9h9 hours ago

This ‘strike’ is very divided. Half of Nigerians do not see the need for a strike! The NLC should hav given more room for negotiations.

Michael Sprout ‏@MichaelSprout 

The Buhari led APC government have confirmed that they’re using the ‘divide and rule’ tactic on the NLC. This is worrisome

Nafiu T. S ‏@nafeezi 

the NLC you dislike today may be the NLC you will call out for help tomorrow @AhmedSalisu @Zahrahmusa @dawisu

If Nigerians can’t support The NLC today even if it’s just 2 ruffle d feathers of d FG, don’t expect them to rise up tmrw on oda issues.

Wisdom Chapp-Jumbo ‏@Mr_Wizzo 

Honestly the NLC Labour strike today is total waste of time. Allow Nigerians face their hustle for the day instead of wasting their time.

Blessing Adeduyite ‏@BlessingAdeduy1 

@channelstv I personally support the gov’t on this policy NO WORK NO PAY. The NLC were part of this decision of gov’t.

Ellyn ‏@cute_ellyn 

“@Awaaal___: Little wonder how this administration has turned us against the NLC. Or is buhari lucky? Things are hard tbh”

Ellyn ‏@cute_ellyn 

“@ThaVincent: The FG wants the NLC to obey the court order lik they obey such court orders!You taught them how to disrespect the judiciary.”

This is despite the fact that the two factions of the union are not in agreement. The faction led by Comrade Joe Ajaero said they are not part of the strike, leaving only the Comrade Ayuba Wabba faction to the industrial action.
