iexclusive News Nigeria reports that NLC Thursday declared a five-day strike in both public and private organizations in Kaduna State to protest mass sack of workers by the state government.

The decision to withdraw the services of workers was taken by the Central Working Committee of the Nigeria Labor Congress NLC at a meeting in Abuja which held at Labor  House.

Addressing journalists at the end of the meeting, President of the NLC, Ayuba Wabba, said the five-day withdrawal of service by workers in the state will become total if there is no remorse from the state government.
