Organized Labour in Nigeria have been urged to respect the subsisting court order and adhere to the principle of rule of law.
Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi gave the advice in a statement by his Special Assistant, Communication and Publicity, Kamarudeen Ogundele in Abuja.
He equally urged Nigerian workers to report for duties and not to entertain any fear as their safety is guaranteed and will be protected within the ambit of law.
Ogundele reminded the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress that there is a subsisting court order stopping the unions and their affiliates from embarking on the November 14 nationwide strike.

He said, the interim order was granted on November 10 by the President of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria, Justice B. B. Kanyip.
The Minister’s media aid noted that the unions have been served the court order and, “therefore, must surrender themselves to the authority of the court which is already seized with the facts of the case.”
He warned that “any action taken contrary to the order will be tantamount to contempt of court.”
