Director General, Importers Association of Nigeria (IMAN) Taskforce, Amb. Chijioke Okoro John has pleaded with Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC),  not to embark on another nationwide strike because it’s would be harmful to Nigerians and the economy.

Speaking to newsmen in Abuja, he insisted on the need for further dialogue and negotiation in order to avert the looming nationwide strike.

“We know that things are very tough at the moment, the inflation rate is really massive and Nigerians are languishing in intense financial excruciation but strike shouldn’t be the ultimate, NLC should give the government time for further dialogue, I believe that it will yield desired result ,” he appealed.

He maintained that the last strike action caused serious damages and havocs in the entire nation.

“The last strike was not a good omen and it caused Nigerians severe pains, the National grid was switched off. Do you know how many people that lost their lives as a result of it? Do you know how many homes that stayed in hunger because of the strike? Let’s be considerate with our actions, as I’m appealing to NLC and TUC not to embark on another strike”, he stressed.
