The AGF, Lateef Fagbemi, wrote the unions through their lawyer, Femi Falana, warning them to desist from their planned strike over the fuel subsidy removal.
The Attorney-General of the Federation , Lateef Fagbemi, has cautioned labour unions against the indefinite strike they plan to embark on to protest the hardships associated with petrol subsidy removal.and the Trade Union Congress had, on Tuesday, declared their plan to embark on the indefinite nationwide strike on 3 October.
Mr Fagbemi said the proposed strike"is in clear violation of the pending interim injunctive order granted on 5 June 2023, restraining both Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress from embarking on any industrial action." "Whilst your clients had maintained that the nationwide protest by NLC is in furtherance of its constitutional right to embark on protests, the Ministry has repeatedly advised on the need to advise your clients to refrain from resorting to self-help and taking actions capable of undermining subsisting orders of a court of competent jurisdiction," Mr Fagbemi, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria , wrote.
The judge reaffirmed the order on 19 June, further restraining the labour unions from going on strike. But negotiations have failed to yield the desired results, prompting the unions to declare on Tuesday another plan to embark on strike.
