The organized labour, comprising the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC), has declared an indefinite strike beginning on June 3, 2024.
According to the organized labour, the strike has become
necessary as the Federal Government appears recalcitrant in its refusal to
increase the N60,000 it offered at the resumption of the tripartite committee
meeting in Abuja on Friday.
The strike was declared at a joint press conference by NLC
President Joe Ajaero and TUC President Festus Osifo.
Osifo stated, “As you are aware, we had the last meeting
preceding today, which was on Tuesday. In that meeting, they (the government)
offered N60,000. They invited us for a meeting today (Friday), and we deliberated
on it, thinking they were showing the necessary commitment.
“To our surprise, there was no serious representation from
either the Federal Government or the state governors who are supposed to be
part of the negotiations.
“So, technically, we felt they have abandoned us because
they remained adamant about the N60,000 offer. Not even a kobo was added to
what we rightfully rejected.”

Let the strike be real strike o!
ReplyDeleteWe don't want 419 strike.
If Nigeria government knows only how to suck life out of its people, then, there will be no need for being together. There's no country in the world that treats it's people like this. I hate this country.
