Nationwide Strike: Edo NLC Shuts Down Govt Offices
The Edo State chapter of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has shut down government offices in compliance with the nationwide industrial action declared by the national body.
At the Civil Service Secretariat in Benin City, the Edo State capital, union leaders, including the state NLC chairman, Mr Odion Olaye, locked out civil servants who had come to work.
The same scenario played out at the State High Court and the Edo State House of Assembly, where the gates were under lock and key.
Some banks in the capital city closed their doors to customers, who were left to do their transactions at the ATM terminals.
