Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) are getting set for a showdown following a directive by the labour union to all its affiliates to join the five-day warning strike.
Africa Daily News, New York can confirm that the strike began this morning at 12 am in protest against mass disengagement and other alleged anti-labour policies of the state government.
But the government insisted the mass disengagement of workers was in the interest of the larger population in the state.
