JUST IN: Banks shut as teachers send students back home in Osogbo over NLC/TUC strike

None of the teachers approached agreed to comment on record.

But a few of them who spoke but preferred anonymity said they had resumed work only to be told of the commencement of strike by labour leaders.

Similarly, some banks in Osogbo refused to open their doors to customers, while others were skeptical about opening, and a few were open for business transactions.

Most offices at the state secretariat in Abere were deserted, with few workers observed going into and moving about within the secretariat.

A staffer of the secretariat, who spoke to NAN under anonymity, said the strike has not started taking shape and that if it were like the previous nationwide strikes, the gates to the secretariat would have been shut with members of the NLC and other labour unions blocking the gates.

Security personnel were seen stationed at the secretariat entrance, and likewise at some strategic locations in Osogbo.
