The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), the country’s main labour union, plans to go on strike next week, which could impact workers across its oil industry, according to Reuters.

• The NLC - representing millions of workers across most sectors, including parts of the oil industry – plans an indefinite strike beginning Sep. 21.
• The cause of the strike is the cost-of-living crisis after the government abandoned a petrol subsidy.
• The unions will "embark on a total and indefinite shutdown of the nation within 14 working days or 21 days from today until steps are taken by the government to address the excruciating mass suffering and impoverishment being experienced around the country," Union leader Joe Ajaero said in a statement.
• Nigeria’s oil industry had faced earlier disruption due to an outage at the Forcados terminal, whose force majeure was lifted Aug. 13.
• Shell had also been reviewing a possible leak on the 180k b/d Trans Niger pipeline Aug. 23.
