The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its Trade Union Congress (TUC) counterparts on Monday, shutdown the National Assembly following the on-going indefinite strike.
Workers were prevented from gaining access to the national assembly complex, leaving most of them stranded.
The unions blocked the main gate to the entrance of assembly.
Some of the workers who came as early as 6:00 a.m. were shocked to discover that the union members were already on ground to prevent possible entrance by workers.
Some aides to the lawmakers made fruitless efforts to explain to the members of the union that they were not part of the strike.
Some of the Aides explained to the union that they could not have joined the strike, and therefore should not be prevented from doing their job.
