In compliance with the nationwide strike circular issued by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), the Nigeria Union of Railway Workers, has suspended all train services across the country.
The secretary-general of the Nigeria Union of Railway Workers, Segun Esan, in an interview with NAN on Tuesday, stated that the association is involved in the strike “and no train was running as a result”.
He noted that all workers of the Nigerian railway have been asked to stay at home following the union’s resolve to join the NLC and TUC strike.
“In effect, therefore, all the workers of Nigerian Railway are duty-bound to join the nationwide strike action from zero-zero hour of Tuesday, 14th November, 2023 by staying back at home and away from their offices till otherwise directed by the congress.”
The nationwide strike is in protest against the alleged brutality of the NLC national president, Joe Ajaero by police in Imo state.
