An association identified as the Amalgamated Union of Food Stuff and Cattle Dealers of Nigeria (AFUCDN) has vowed to embark on a nationwide strike over alleged illegal roadblocks and multiple taxations on its members.
The National President of the union, Mr. Muhammed Tahir, stated this while addressing newsmen at the end of an emergency meeting of the union on Tuesday in Abuja.
The union had earlier embarked on a six-day industrial action which was suspended after the intervention of Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi.
Tahir said that after reviewing the issues, the union resolved to throw her weights behind the Onion Union, who had commenced cutting off supply to the southern part of the country due to the same issues.
He, therefore, said that the union would cut the supply of food nationwide if government failed to meet its demands within three weeks.
According to him, AFUCDN is not on strike at the moment but may not guarantee industrial harmony after three weeks if the government fails to meet the union’s demands.
