Labour Declares Indefinite Strike from June 3

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have declared a nationwide strike beginning from Monday, June 3rd, 2024 over the tripartite committee’s inability to agree on a new minimum wage.

 

The President of the TUC, FESTUS OSIFO announced the strike at a joint news conference with the leadership of the NLC in Abuja.

 

The decision follows the expiration of an earlier request to the Federal Government to conclude all negotiations for a new minimum wage before the end of May.

 

Speaking during the press conference, the TUC president declared that the industrial action will be indefinite until the Federal Government provides a new minimum wage.

Comrade OSIFO further decried what he described as non-responsiveness of the federal government to the plights of the Nigerian workers.

The organised labour had once pulled out of the negotiation and rejected two Federal Government offers, the latest being the offer to pay 60,000 naira as a minimum wage
