The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in collaboration with
Trade Union Congress (TUC) has commenced an indefinite strike to
press home its demand for N30,000 minimum wage implementation in
Taraba State.
This is contained in a press statement jointly signed by the TUC
President, Sule Abasu and NLC President Peter Jediel in the
state.
The organized labour said the decision became paramount in view
of government’s long silence on the negotiated new minimum wage and
its consequential adjustment.
“When silence on our negotiated new national minimum wage of
N30,000 and its consequential adjustment becomes an instrument in
the hands of government to deny workers their constitutional right,
resistance through strike becomes legal instruments in the hands of
workers,” the statement read in part.

They charged civil servants in all categories of the state to
actively participate in the strike.
This is coming five weeks after the Labour unions issued a seven
day ultimatum to Taraba government to implement its agreement on
the 25th of August 2020.
