Organised labour made up of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress ( TUC) on Friday declared an indefinite strike over the federal government’s refusal to increase the minimum wage which it pegged at N60,000.
Joe Ajaero, the President of NLC, who disclosed this at a press conference in Labour House, Abuja, said the strike begins by the midnight of Sunday, June 2, 2024.
Tallks on minimum wage between the Federal Government and organised labour hit a brick wall on Friday when the government failed to shift grounds on the N60,000 it proposed during the last meeting.
