Organised labour is set to embark on a nationwide indefinite strike due to the government’s failure to pass a new National Minimum Wage Act and reverse the hike in electricity tariff. Despite last-minute efforts by the National Assembly to prevent the strike, the unions remain resolute. The AGF has labeled the strike as illegal and premature, citing non-compliance with statutory procedures. The Organised Private Sector threatens to enforce ‘no work no pay’ for employees participating in the strike.
Aviation unions have directed members to withdraw services, and WAEC candidates will stay at home as schools shut down. NANS supports labour’s demands, urging the government to enhance the minimum wage. A Yoruba group appeals to Tinubu to prevent the strike, emphasizing the need for fair wages amidst economic challenges.
