The National Industrial Court, Abuja has granted an order of interim injunction restraining the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC), their officers, affiliates, and privies from embarking on any strike on Monday, September 28.
Both unions had asked workers to embark on an indefinite strike pending when the Federal Government reverts to the old pump price of petrol and adjust the electricity tariff.
However, ruling on an ex parte application filed by the Incorporated Trustees of Peace and Unity Ambassadors Association, Justice Ibrahim Galadima, granted an interim order restraining the unions from embarking on strike.
The Court also granted an order of interim injunction restraining the Unions, their officers, affiliates, privies or howsoever described from disrupting, restraining, picketing or preventing the workers or its affiliates or ordinary Nigerians from accessing their offices to carry out their legitimate duties on Sept. 28, or any other subsequent date pending the hearing and determination of the Motion on Notice.
The Court also granted an order directing the Inspector-General of Police and the Director General Department of State Services to provide protection for the claimants and other Nigerian workers engaged in their legitimate duties.
