On Friday, members of the organized labour announced a nationwide indefinite strike in response to the Federal Government’s refusal to increase the proposed minimum wage from N60,000. The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Joe Ajaero, made this declaration during an ongoing press conference at Labour House in Abuja.
Ajaero stated that the strike would commence at midnight on Sunday, June 2, 2024. This decision reflects the labour union’s determination to press for a higher minimum wage and address the concerns of workers across the country.
