To this end, they had directed workers across the country to commence the strike as planned and advised Nigerians to visit their banks between Monday and Tuesday to withdraw money needed for the period and stock their houses with enough foodstuffs in preparation for the three-day strike.
“From Wednesday, indeed from midnight of Tuesday, no aircraft would be allowed to fly; the ports will be completely shut down. The roads will be deserted; there won’t be any university that will open, while the banks will be closed.
“We, therefore, call on all Nigerians, so that, between Monday and Tuesday, they can stockpile foodstuffs; they can go to the banks to collect money; even PHCN, as erratic as it is, will not work,” NLC deputy president and chairman of the National Labour Strike Coordinating Committee, Comrade Promise Adewusi, said at a press conference addressed at the Labour House on Sunday.
Comrade Adewusi said the labour movement welcomed the promise by the 36 state governors that they would pay the new national minimum wage, but regretted that, “we have always taken this for granted, because we do not see how governors who are the chief security officers of our states would choose not to obey the law; only anarchy would result from such an act.”
