The Sultan of Sokoto, His Eminence Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III has urged the Organized Labour to have a rethink on the strike they embarked on.
He said the strike will bring hardship upon Nigerians who are currently not enduring the worst Nigerian Economy in a very long time.
The Monarch, in statement encouraged the NLC and TUC to avoid getting tired of negotiating with the government.
“The Labour leaders should consider the overbearing effects of the strike action they plan to embark upon in the wellbeing of the same Nigerians, whose interests they are fighting to protect, and therefore shelve the industrial action,” he stated.
“We appeal to Labour not to take the nation through another leg of hardship because that exactly is what will happen, if they make good their plan to go on this strike.
“They should try to listen to the government while the government should listen to them and both parties should arrive at a conclusion that will be beneficial to all Nigerians, with the working class inclusive.”
