THE nationwide strike called by the organised labour recorded huge success in Kano on Monday as banks, civil servants and aviation staff stayed away from work.

However, private schools were in session as their worker defied the strike instruction by the organised labour led by Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC).

The correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN ) who monitored the situation reported that doors of banks and public looks were under lock and keys.

At the Federal Secretariat, Kano, it was observed that federal servants were not on duty. A similar scenario was observed at the Audi Baki Kano State Secretariat complex.

The Federal Secretariat houses the National Agency for Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and other Ministries, Agencies and Parastatals.

At Malam Aminu Kano International Airport there were no flights except for those departing for the Holy Land for pilgrimage.

Some private school workers told NAN that they were not part of the strike because they would not be affected by the new minimum wage if approved by the Federal Government. (NAN
