NLC previously embarked on a two-day warning strike on September 5 and 6, during which it issued a 14-day ultimatum.

While workers are waiting for further directives, online reports went viral on Friday suggesting that the union has commenced an indefinite strike.

He enjoined the general public to disregard the viral report.
