Labour will embark in an indefinite nationwide strike on June 3 due to failure of federal government to conclude negotiations on a new national minimum wage and reverse the hike in the electricity tariff.
The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, disclosed this at an ongoing press briefing in Labour House, Abuja.
Ajaero said the strike would begin by midnight on Sunday, June 2, 2024.
At the briefing, leaders of NLC and TUC pleaded with Nigerians to bear with them, saying “Apologies for inconveniences but commitment to pursue the cause to its conclusion.”
It is not known yet if there would be resolution between labour and government before the day set for the strike.
