Strike: Labour cuts electricity, water supply to National Assembly

Members of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), an affiliate of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), have shut down the National Assembly in compliance with the indefinite strike declared by the organised labour.

Electricity and water supply to the two buildings housing the Senate and the House of Representatives as well as other facilities in the National Assembly complex have been shut down by the union.

The National Assembly entrance and exit gates were blocked with two coastal buses by PASAN

Recall that following failure to reach a compromise on a new minimum wage by the tripartite committee set up by the federal government, the organised labour comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) commenced a nationwide strike today.
