The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have resolved to withdraw services and shut down Imo State, starting from Tuesday midnight. The unions made the resolution at the end of the Joint National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the NLC and TUC held on Tuesday. In a communique issued at the end of the meeting, signed by the NLC Deputy President, Comrade Adewale Adeyanju and TUC President, Comrade Festus Osifo, the leadership of the unions said all workers and affiliates are expected to ensure compliance wherever they are.

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed concern over the “persistent and egregious violations of the rights and privileges of workers in Imo State by the state government”. A statement signed by the NLC President on Sunday, Comrade Joe Ajaero, accused the state government of breaching agreements and violating the rights of workers in the state. The NLC lamented that some workers in the state were being owed 20 months' salaries, adding that 11,000 workers were being branded as ghost workers.
