BusinessDay checks revealed that many were not aware of the declaration by labour to go on strike as of Tuesday, the first day of the strike.
One of the staff of the Ministry of Education who spoke to BusinessDay, on grounds of anonymity, said he wasn’t aware of the declaration by Labour to proceed on strike.
BusinessDay checks also revealed that some of the filling stations had shut down, while only the NNPC filling station at Lugbe, along the Nnamdi Azikwe airport road, Abuja, was attending to customers.
The situation led to long queues as many motorists struggled to buy fuel.
