The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) have issued a strike notice to the Federal Government, set for November 8.
This is in response to an attack on NLC President Joe Ajaero and other union leaders in Imo State on Wednesday.
In a joint statement released on Friday, the unions presented a six-point demand to the government.
These demands include the immediate removal of the Commissioner of Police, Imo State, and the Area Commander, as well as other officials allegedly involved in the attack.
Furthermore, the unions have called for the immediate arrest and prosecution of all individuals responsible for the attack, along with compensation for the victims.
They have also demanded a public apology from the Imo State Government and the Inspector-General of Police. Additionally, the unions seek assurances that such an attack will not recur in the future.
If the government fails to meet these demands within the next five days, the unions have warned that they will proceed with a nationwide strike.
