Nigeria's May 29 Public Holiday To Be Marred By National Strike

Sources: Business Day (Nigeria) and Nigeria public holidays. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and trade Union Congress (TUC) have called for a two-day strike on Monday and Tuesday, May 28-29, 2007, to protest against alleged widespread vote-rigging in last month’s elections. The second day of that strike will coincide with the May 29 "Democracy Day" Nigerian public holiday.
