Speaking during a Channels Television interview on Tuesday, President of TUC, Festus Osifo disclosed that the unions have agreed to withdraw their services from Imo State starting Wednesday, November 8.
“Both NEC of the Unions decided with effect from this night, we will start the withdrawal of service across the board in Imo State.
“Flight operations, electricity, and supply of Premium Motor Spirit (Petrol) will be shut down.
