“The DWC of NUR and SSA must unite, continue to act as their district strike committee before the start of the 3-day strike and throughout the strike and will ensure full compliance with law and order.  All workers who joined the strike, according to the union leaders.
“The leaders and secretaries are responsible for reporting the situation during the strike and will go to the union secretary for information and appropriate action.
“Strikes, any way that any district wants to carry out through the program but must be in the premises of the Commission and they must be in order, without interference of any damage or violation of railway property.
"All workers must follow and leave their offices but gather behind their district union leaders to participate peacefully throughout the strike without fear or favor.
“This strike is designed only to send a warning signal to those who are qualified to meet our demands for improving living conditions and standard of service and the strike process can be followed.

"District leaders of the unions should wait for more orders from Lagos from time to time as deemed appropriate by national union officials.
"Each district must comply with this notice because any action contrary to it will be scrutinized and the leaders of the organizations."
