A Nigerian labor union said it would begin an indefinite strike on Wednesday over government plans to scrap a fuel subsidy and raise gasoline prices by up to 67%.
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), which represents millions of workers, vowed to push ahead with the strike despite a injunction from the country's industrial court, according to Reuters. The labor group, which represents millions of workers, said talks with the government broke down Tuesday.
