State secretariat shut as NLC takes over Kaduna streets

Members of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) are currently on the streets of Kaduna for the strike declared against the state government over what the union described as anti-labour policies of the Kaduna State Government.

NLC declared strike after the government failed to reverse the mass sack of workers.

Before the workers hit the streets, Comrade Ayuba Sulieman, NLC Chairman in Kaduna, addressed members of affiliated unions.
