As the ongoing NLC nationwide strike commences, public schools and financial institutions in Kano State have fully complied with the action. DAILY POST reporter who monitored the strike in Kano metropolitan, reports that public schools and banks were closed.
Meanwhile, private school owners in Kano ignored the strike action embarked upon by the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress . A proprietress, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they were not joining the strike as they stood to benefit nothing from the strike action. According to the proprietress, 'We are not joining the strike because we are private, and they are not going to give us anything when they get the minimum wage. It is not as if they will share with us.
A source at the airport said domestic flights were shut down except those for pilgrimages. Hundreds of passengers on domestic flights were stranded at the entrance gates.
