The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, has declared that it is
still on strike.
NLC said its organs will meet to decide on the outcome of
the meeting with the Federal Government.
Posting on X on Tuesday, NLC wrote: “Until we hear from Our
Organs at our Meeting scheduled for today, 4th June, we are still on strike.”
On Monday, the Federal Government and the organised labour
reached an agreement that might end the ongoing strike.
The organized labour embarked on an indefinite strike on
Monday to push for an improved pay package for workers.
The strike led to a meeting between the Secretary to the
Government of the Federation, SGF, Senator George Akume and labour leaders in
Abuja.
At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that “Further to
the negotiation by the Tripartite Committee on National Minimum Wage (NMW) and
subsequent withdrawal of Labour from negotiation, the Leadership of the
National Assembly intervened on 2nd June, 2024. The Organised Labour declared
nationwide strike on Monday, 3rd June, 2024 to drive home its demands.
“The Federal Government, in the National interest, convened
a meeting with Labour held in the office of the Secretary to the Government of
the Federation, on Monday 3rd June, with a view to ending the strike action.
“The President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,
Federal Republic of Nigeria is committed to a National Minimum Wage that is
higher than N60,000.”
