The National Industrial Court has restrained organised labour movements in Nigeria, NLC, and TUC from going ahead with their planned nationwide protest over what they described as unfavourable and anti-people economic policy.
Justice Ibrahim Galadima who granted the restraining order said it was granted pending the hearing and determination of the suit.
The order is also restraining the unions, their officers and privies from disrupting or picketing the workers or its affiliate from carrying out their legitimate duties on the 28th September 2020 or any other date.
