Just in: We’re still on strike, says NLC
The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has dismissed a report making the round that it has called off the nationwide workers’ strike.
It said its organs would meet today (Tuesday) to decide on the outcome of the meeting it held with the Federal Government team on Monday night.
The NLC posted this latest reaction on X Tuesday, stating: “Until we hear from Our Organs at our (a) meeting scheduled for today, 4th June, we are still on strike.”
The Federal Government and the organised labour on Monday night reached an agreement that might end the ongoing strike.
The labour embarked on an indefinite strike on Monday morning to push for an improved pay package for workers.

The strike led to a meeting between the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume, and labour leaders in Abuja.
The resolutions reached at the meeting indicated that “the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Federal Republic of Nigeria is committed to a National Minimum Wage that is higher than N60,000.”
They agreed that the parties involved in the minimum wage negotiation should meet every day for the next one week to perfect a new salary package for workers.
Labour leaders at the meeting including Joe Ajaero of the NLC and Festus Osifo of the Trade Union Congress expressed respect for President Bola Tinubu and agreed to convene the organs of the unions today to decide on the strike.
