Labour embarked on a nationwide indefinite strike over the failure of the Federal Government to agree to their demand for the minimum wage.
President of the Nigeria Labour Congress , Joe Ajaero, on Thursday, said both federal and states were owing workers two months since the last minimum wage expired.“The last minimum wage expired by April 18th. They started owing by April, then May, June. We don’t have the luxury of time,” he said.
When asked if the labour unions will give President Bola Tinubu till the end of July to meet the union’s demand of N250,000, Ajaero didn’t stipulate a timeframe.
