The Trade Union Congress (TUC) has opted out of the planned nationwide strike proposed by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC).
This was contained in a statement by the Vice President of the TUC, Tommy Etim, on Thursday.
Etim blamed the decision to pull out of the planned strike on what he described as “lack of decision making”.
He emphasized on the need for collective agreement between labour unions before reaching a decision to embark on a protest.
Meanwhile, the NLC has rejected the advice of the Department of State Services (DSS) to shelve the nationwide protest scheduled for February 27 and 28.
In a statement on Wednesday evening, NLC president described the advice as unsolicited adding that it would proceed with the protest the hardship currently being faced by most Nigerians.
