Nigeria: NLC, NUT reject Wike's no-work, no-pay strike directive as unconstitutional

Nigerian minister Nyesom Wike ordered area council chairpersons to enforce a no-work, no-pay policy against striking workers, a directive the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) have denounced as unconstitutional and unenforceable. The dispute signals escalating tension between federal authorities and organized labor over strike action, with legal and political implications for labor rights in Nigeria.
