The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) warning strike has partially paralyzed human and commercial activities within the Enugu metropolis, leading to Nigerians not being able to meet their daily routine.
A correspondent who went around the Enugu metropolis on Tuesday observed that the courtrooms in Enugu were under lock and key, while some banks and other financial institutions were not open for business.
It would be recalled that the NLC had earlier issued an ultimatum of a two-day warning strike to Federal and State Governments over the non-provision of palliatives and succor for Nigerians due to biting hardship.
Meanwhile, there was relatively low compliance with the exercise in Federal and Enugu State Secretariats in Enugu as some workers (mostly senior/management level workers) were seen going about their normal office duties.
However, there are ongoing full-scale vehicular and trader activities within major roads, markets, plazas, and streets within the Enugu metropolis.
Speaking, a litigant, Mr Chidi Okoye, lamented that the strike actions had affected various courts and their proceedings.
Okoye said: “My case has suffered undue adjournment ments due to strike actions for three months now.”
Another resident, Mr. Ejike Onyeama, urged the NLC to push harder for a better response from the government to the plight of Nigerian workers and the ordinary man on the streets.
