The Federal Government has insisted that the planned industrial action by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC is illegal.
Sam Ogala of Falana’s Chamber, in a letter dated July 28, 2023, had stated that the right to peaceful protest has not been removed from the constitution.
The FG, in a letter on Monday, by the Solicitor-General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, Beatrice Jedy-Agba, and addressed to Falana Chambers on Monday, restated that there is a subsisting interim order restraining NLC from embarking on any industrial action.
She also called on Falana to educate the NLC that peaceful protests are no justification for shutting down essential services
