By Victor Ahiuma-Young

The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has threatened to embark on a solidarity action with teachers and other workers across the country if governments fail to address worsening insecurity and the rising cases of abduction of teachers, pupils and students.

NLC President, Comrade Joe Ajaero, in a statement, expressed support for the ongoing strike by the Nigeria Union of Teachers, NUT, describing the action as a necessary response to the growing wave of kidnappings and attacks on schools and vulnerable workers nationwide.
