Workers in Plateau State have embarked on an indefinite strike to force the state government to meet their demands.
The commencement of the strike was announced in a notice by the Joint Negotiating Council chapter of the state and the leadership of the Nigerian Labour Congress/Trade Union Congress. The notice was jointly signed by Plateau JNC Chairman, Titus Malau and Secretary, Timothy Gopep, on Wednesday night.
According to the Council, the industrial action became necessary after the state government had exhausted the four days extension of the earlier seven days ultimatum given to pay salaries and other entitlements it owed workers in the state.
