According to the union, the action was imperative since the government had reneged in fulfilling its own part of the agreement despite a series of promises.
Plateau State workers have begun an indefinite strike to press home their demands following the state government’s failure to meet them.
The Joint Negotiating Council chapter of the state and the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress/Trade Union Congress announced the commencement of the strike in a notice jointly signed by Plateau JNC Chairman, Titus Malau and Secretary, Timothy Gopep, on Wednesday night. The Council disclosed the industrial action became necessary after the state government had exhausted the four days extension of the earlier seven days ultimatum given to pay salaries and other entitlements it owed workers in the state.
“It is evidently clear that the government has not shown enough commitment to address the issues as presented in our charter of demands before its tenure expires, as earlier promised.
