The strike declared by the Organized Labour (NLC and TUC) across Nigeria, commencing today, Tuesday November 14, appears to be recording reasonable compliance in Delta State as a seminar scheduled for today, Tuesday November 14 and Wednesday November 15, have been cancelled by the organizers.

 

Fresh Angle International, understands that the two-day seminar/workshop billed to be attended by O/C Salary & Assistant, Cashier & Assistant, Internal Auditor and Checkers (serving in Local Government Councils across Delta North Senatorial District) at Olorogun Felix Ibru Secretariat, Mariam Babangida Way, Asaba, have been cancelled and the Delta State Local Government Service Commission, duly communicated.

 

The main entrance of Delta Ports, Warri, was barricaded this morning by Trade Union Officials enforcing compliance of the NLC/TUC strike, while students and pupils of public secondary and primary schools in Warri, were being sent home as at 9.20am today, when this report was published. Checks by This Newspaper as at the time of this report, revealed that privately owned primary and secondary schools in the oil-city of Warri, were yet to comply with the Organized Labour strike order.

 

A terse directive sighted by Our Correspondent, showed that workers of Warri South Local Government Council, Warri, were instructed to stay off their duty posts, by the branch leadership of Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, NULGE.

 

“NULGE WEE! Pls Note that the strike is on as directed by the leadership of NLC and TUC. Therefore all offices and health centers are expected to be shut. Please comply to avoid further sanction”, the NULGE directive to staffers of Warri South Local Government Council, stated.

 

Recall that the National Industrial Court, in Abuja, on Friday November 10, stopped the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and Trade Union Congress, TUC, from embarking on the strike.

 

The Judge, Benedict Kanyip, ordered the two major labour unions, to stop their industrial action scheduled to commence today, November 14.
