LABOUR DECLARES NATIONWIDE STRIKE OVER NEW MINIMUM WAGE

The organised labour had once pulled out of the negotiation and rejected two Federal Government offers, the latest being N60,000. 

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 on Friday.

According to the labour leaders, 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.

The organised labour had once pulled out of the negotiation and rejected two Federal Government offers, the latest being the offer to pay N60,000 as a minimum wage.
