The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) has appealed to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and other trade unions to stop their proposed strike in the interest of the country. This was even as the forum said the labour unions should consider the fact that the 2019 general election is by the corner. “However, ACF wishes to draw the attention of the labour and trade unions to the fact that the public is getting extremely alarmed by the risky method they have chosen to fight for the welfare of their members. “It will be recalled that ASUU, ASUP and other unions in our tertiary institutions have been on total, comprehensive and indefinite strike almost 100 days to our general elections. ‘We therefore urge the labor leaders to remain patriots and prevail on their members to suspend the proposed total strike and for ASUU and ASUP we appeal to call of the strike and return to the negotiation table.
