In compliance with the directive of the President of Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, to embark on a nationwide strike over minimum wage, members of the labour union shut down Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) in Lagos, after chasing staff out of the Agidingbi, Ikeja, office.
The Eagle Online reports that leaders and members of the Lagos State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, on Monday, shut the gate of the Lagos State Secretariat, Alausa, Ikeja, cordoning off the entire premises from workers gaining access.
Reportedly, the striking workers gathered as early as 7.30 am on Monday and locked the access gates into the Secretariat, thereby, preventing vehicular movement into the premises.
