Justice O.Y. Anuwe of the National Industrial Court has restrained the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC), from embarking on strike from Wednesday over the removal of fuel subsidy.

Delivering the ruling on Monday, Anuwe, the presiding judge, said the unions should halt the planned strike pending the hearing and determination of the ex parte motion filed by the federal government.
