Industrial Court Stops Planned NLC Strike

The National Industrial court,NIC , has put a stop to the plan by the Nigerian Labour Congress, NLC, Trade Union Congress, TUC and others from embarking on the proposed strike to protest

the recent increase in the price petrol which is expected to begin on Wednesday.

The Vanguard reports that the NIC president, Justice BabatundeAdejumo , has stopped the Labour unions from embarking on the strike action pending the outcome of the suit filed by the Federal Government.

Efforts by the Federal government to dissuade the labour unions from embarking on the Strike action have been fruitless, but however, still determined to stop the strike action, the Attorney general of the Federation had no option than to approach the NIC, begging to restrain the Labour Unions from further actions.

Subsequently Justice Adejumo has ordered all the parties to maintain status quo until legal dispute is settled.

The restraining order will elapse after seven days.
