The Central Working Committee (CWC) of the NLC had last week issued a two weeks ultimatum on the government’s  increases, threatening to ground the economy if its demands for a reversal was not met.
Addressing newsmen at the end of its meeting on Tuesday in Abuja, the National Executive Council (NEC) of the NLC endorsed the decision of the CWC, thus resolving its protest and industrial action would commence September 28.
Meanwhile, the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had on Tuesday disclosed its plans to join the NLC in its nationwide strike and protest against the fuel and electricity tariff hike.
