Checks by SaharaReporters around the state capital, showed that the courtrooms, banks and other financial institutions were under lock and key, while only few businesses were open for business.
The NLC had on Friday, August 2, declared a two-day warning strike to protest against President Bola Tinubu-led Federal Government failure to address the effects of fuel subsidy removal, which had put Nigerian working class in economic crisis.
Speaking with SaharaReporters, a worker, Mr Chidi Okoye, lamented the strike actions, adding that the industrial action had affected various courts and their proceedings.
Okoye, who also claimed to be a litigant said: “My case has suffered undue adjournments due to strike actions for three months now.”
Another resident, Mr Ejike Onyeama, urged the NLC to push harder for a better response of the government to the plight of Nigerian workers and the ordinary man in the street.
Meanwhile, activities in various government agencies were also grounded in Osun State following the call for a two-day warning strike by the NLC.
