Despite court injunction, NLC in Edo state says it will go on with the strike action

The Nigeria Labor Congress (NLC), Edo state
Chapter, says it will go on with the Labor Union
planned strike action scheduled for tomorrow
May 18th.
This decision comes despite the court order
secured by the Federal government at the
National Industrial Court, restraining the NLC
and all its affiliates from embarking on any
strike. Speaking with journalists in Benin city
today, the state chairman of the NLC, Emmanuel
Ademokun, described the court ruling as a black
market injunction.
“That order was a black market injunction and
we are not going to abide by it. The strike will
commence on Wednesday. As regard the
Industrial court, we have never respected the
order. The court restrained us from using the
stadium. Oshiomhole was then the leader. We
are going ahead to implement the strike and a
directive has already been given from the
national headquarters that the strike commences
on Wednesday. There is no going back,” he said
