NLC Declares Nation-Wide Strike Following Disagreement With FG

A total strike has been declared by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) after its meeting with the federal government delegation led by Chris Ngige, minister of labour, yielded no result.

This was stated by Ayuba Wabba, president of the NLC, at a press conference in Abuja, where he noted that both parties could not reach an agreement at the meeting.

He called on NLC members across the country to ensure full compliance with the industrial action, starting by midnight today.

Leaders of Trade Union Congress (TUC) and other stakeholders of the organised labour attended the meeting.
The strike was declared over the alleged delay of the federal government to implement the new minimum wage for workers.
