JUST IN: Why Strike Will Continue Tuesday Despite Agreement With FG — NLC

The Nigeria Labour Congress has revealed that the ongoing nationwide strike will continue today Tuesday despite the agreement it signed with the Federal Government at late night Monday’s meeting.

The labour union, in a post share on their official X formerly Twitter early Tuesday said the industrial action which has grounded the nation’s economy will continue until Tuesday’s meeting of organs of the union where all resolutions of Monday’s meeting are expected to be reviewed.

“Until we hear from our organs at our meeting scheduled for today, June 4, we are still on strike,” the post read.

Recall that after a six-hour meeting with the leadership of the organised labour in Abuja, the Federal Government expressed the commitment of President Bola Tinubu to raising the N60,000 offered as the minimum wage.

Representing the organised labour were the President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, and the President of the Trade Union Congress, Festus Osifo.

To be honest, let d strike continue for the 1 week pending the meeting by d govt. Let naija Dey for darkness. This is a wicked, arrogant, Unserious Regime.
