The Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) has in conjunction with the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria(TUC), issued a 14 day notice of a nationwide strike to the federal government of the Nigeria. The two unions stated that the aim of the strike action is as a result of the government's inability to implement the 16-point agreement between the two labour organisations (NLC and TUC) and the Federal Government, on October 2, 2023. The organisations also cited a neglect and hardship pervading citizens and the country.

A joint statement by NLC and TUC reads in part ; "It is regrettable that we are compelled to resort to such measures, but the persistent neglect of the welfare of citizens and Nigerian workers and the massive hardship leave us with no choice. Constrained by this development and recognizing the urgency of the situation and the imperative of ensuring the protection and defense of the rights and dignity of Nigerian workers and citizens, the NLC and TUC hereby issue a stern ultimatum to the Federal Government to honor their part of the understanding within 14 days from tomorrow, the 9th day of February 2024.”
