In a letter to the NLC, TUC, and Femi Falana, Fagbemi said the plan by both labour bodies to embark on indefinite strike from October 3, is a violation of the subsisting order and a different disregard to the dignity and integrity of the court.

The AGF urged Falana to prevail on his clients to respect the order of the court and allow room for ongoing negotiations between parties on how to address the challenges associated with the fuel subsidy removal.

He noted that from the communique issued by the NLC after its National Executive Council meeting on August 31 and the joint communique by the Presidents of the NLC and TUC, it was obvious that the proposed strike action is premised principally in furtherance of issues connected with the removal of fuel subsidy, and consequential matters of making provisions for palliatives and workers welfare.

He reminded them that a court order, regardless of the opinion of any party, remains binding and enforceable until set aside.

Copies of the letter have also been sent to the Minister of Labour and Employment, the Chief of Staff to the President, the National Security Adviser, the Inspector General of Police, and the Director General of State Security Service.
