Public schools in Bayelsa has been closed following a two-day nationwide warning strike announced by the Nigeria Labour Congress(NLC) national secretariat in Bayelsa State.
Trade Union Congress employees in the state didn’t participate in the nationwide strike in the morning since the TUC had withdrawn from it, but they finally left their desks to go home.
Private schools were reportedly open across Yenagoa notwithstanding the closure of the state schools.
Partial compliance was also seen in the banking industry as certain firms welcomed clients.
In line with the national order of the congress, the state NLC leadership had published a statement stating that it would begin a two-day warning strike on Tuesday “to press home its demands to the Federal Government.”
The NLC chairman and secretary, Barnabas Simon and John Angese, issued a statement requesting that all employees abide by the request and spend Tuesday and Wednesday at home.
