NASARAWA WORKERS SET FOR INDEFINITE STRIKE OVER MINIMUM WAGE STANDOFF. (PHOTO)


 Organised labour in Nasarawa State is gearing up for an indefinite strike after a state government’s delay in implementing the new national minimum wage.


Comrade Ismaila Okoh, the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in the state, disclosed this in a telephone interview with Radio Nigeria.


He said despite numerous meetings, including those chaired by Deputy Governor, Dr Emmanuel Akabe, no formal agreement had been reached.


According to Comrade Okoh, the government verbally committed to N70,500 minimum wage but failed to provide a written agreement specifying payment terms. He stressed that all affiliate unions have been alerted and instructed to prepare for strike action if the government does not implement the new wage by December 1, 2024.


“The workers are resolute. We are ready to take all necessary steps to ensure the full implementation of the minimum wage signed into law by President Bola Tinubu,” Comrade Okoh insisted.


Deputy Governor Akabe, in his response, reassured the workers that the state would commence payment of the N70,500 minimum wage in December 2024. He added that negotiations on salary adjustments were in advanced stages.


With a looming deadline and no formal agreement in place, the clock is ticking for the Nasarawa State government to avert an industrial action that could paralyze the state’s workforce.
