Nigeria's main trade union has said it will hold a second general strike in protest at fuel rises, warning it would specifically target oil production. The umbrella union body Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) confirmed the action would start on 16 November. Union leaders accused the Anglo-Dutch oil giant Shell of being the "enemy of the Nigerian people" and called for action against the firm.
