The MTN office in the Maitama District of Abuja, on Tuesday was under lock and key following the nationwide picketing of the company by the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC.
The News Agency of Nigeria correspondent, who visited the office, reports that it was locked with only policemen and other security personnel outside the gate.
NAN reports that the picketing of MTN offices by NLC, which started on Monday, was in protest against non-unionisation of its workers.
The leadership of the union and other members had barricaded the head office of the company in Lagos for about eight hours, preventing workers from carrying out their daily duties.
A security man, who pleaded anonymity, told NAN in Abuja that there was a directive from the MTN headquarters in Lagos that all staff of the organisation should not come to work until further notice.
“Maybe it is because of the protest by some people in our office in Lagos.
