[BREAKING] Minimum wage: NLC, TUC declare indefinite nationwide strike from Monday

The NLC and TUC have declared an indefinite nationwide strike beginning from Monday, June 3, 2024, over the new minimum wage.

The Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress have declared an indefinite nationwide strike beginning from Monday, June 3, 2024.

Osifo expressed what he described as “grave concern and disappointment” over the Federal Government’s failure to conclude and pass into law a new National Minimum Wage Act, and reverse the hike in electricity tariff to N65/kWh. “There was none present on the side of the government with appropriate authority to commit them to any outcome. In essence, the government abandoned the meeting.

“However, there has been no significant progress or commitment from the government towards meeting this demand. “Nigerian workers, who are the backbone of our nation’s economy, deserve fair and decent wages that reflect the current economic realities,” Ajaero added. “It continues to remain our belief that the people ought to be the only reason for governance and nothing else. The government must therefore seek the welfare of the people at all times. The refusal to put the people first compels all patriots to take the right step in assisting the government to govern well.
