The Centre for Social and Economic Rights (CSER), a Nigerian civil society organization, has strongly condemned the recent strike by organized labor unions. They accuse the unions of engaging in economic sabotage and treason by shutting down the national grid.
In a press statement, the CSER argues that while workers have the right to strike, targeting the national grid is a national security threat and an attempt to overthrow the government through undemocratic means. They also criticize reports of violence and intimidation used to enforce the strike.
The CSER urges the government to uphold the law and protect the rights of Nigerians to work and access education. They call for a strong response against any illegal actions taken by the unions during the strike.
