Organised Labour in Abia State, on Sunday, issued a stern warning to the state government, declaring an impending indefinite strike if their demands are not met by July 28, 2024.
The ultimatum comes after a series of negotiations that have failed to resolve key issues concerning workers’ welfare.
Earlier threats of strike action on June 8, 2024, were temporarily averted when Governor Alex Otti intervened, instructing the state Accountant-General to engage with labour leaders on their grievances. The main points of contention include the implementation of the N30,000 minimum wage and the N35,000 palliative wage, which were federally approved since October 2023.
