The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) have announced a nationwide strike scheduled to commence on Monday, June 3 2024.

The organised labour declared that the industrial action was a result of the tripartite committee’s failure to reach a consensus on a new minimum wage.

Announcing the decision of the union, the President of the TUC, Festus Osifo, said the decision to go on a strike was reached at a joint meeting held in Abuja.

Osifo revealed that the decision follows the expiration of an earlier request to the Federal Government to conclude all negotiations for a new minimum wage before the end of May.

The New Diplomat reports that the negotiations for a new minimum wage were stalled on several occasions.

The organised labour had once pulled out of the negotiations, and rejected two federal government’s offers, the latest being the offer to pay N60,000 as a minimum wage.
