The Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and Trade Union Congress, TUC have provided an update on the industrial action.
DAILY GIST had reported earlier that the federal government agreed to increase the minimum wage beyond the initially proposed N60,000.
A consensus was reportedly reached during a meeting between government officials and labour leaders on Monday night to raise the minimum wage above N60,000 according to Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), George Akume
But the organised Labour insisted they would go ahead with the strike today, while negotiations on their demands could continue.
The union, in a post on X, 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.
