NLC/TUC Strike: Lady Breaks Silence as National Grid is Shut and Flights Cancelled Over Minimum Wage

• A Nigerian lady has spoken up against the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress over their strike action
• The lady said the strike action was affecting the masses and noted that NLC and TUC should channel their anger to the government
• She said it is lamentable that the national electricity grid has been shut and flights cancelled due to the strike action

A Nigerian lady is not happy about the ongoing strike action declared by the NLC and the TUC.

The lady said the strike does not make sense as it would merely make the masses suffer needlessly.

According to her, the strike action over minimum wage would punish the citizens instead of the government.

In a post on X, the lady, Amina M. Abdullahi, said the NLC and the TUC should have confronted the government instead of going on strike.

She said shutting down the national grid and disrupting flight operations would affect the masses.

Her words:

"It doesn’t even make sense that the National Grid has been shut down and flights cancelled. If you are truly fighting for the masses, why not go to Aso Rock? Why punish the citizens you claim you’re fighting for? Again, it doesn’t make sense."

"The people working in National grid are parts of NLC. Let the government listen to labour and they will not shut down anything."

@Tehila_O said:

"The national grid has been collapsing in recent times, even when there was no strike. It's not the NLC that's punishing the masses but the government."
