The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has directed state councils where the new minimum wage is not yet implemented to commence an indefinite strike in protest against the unaddressed labour issues beginning from December 1, 2024.
The NLC said this to newsmen on Sunday after its National Executive Council meeting, saying there should be an urgent review of the current anti-people policies to end the severe economic hardship across the country.
It also accused fuel marketers of inflating petrol prices, saying Nigerians are being exploited.
The NLC has given state governments an ultimatum of December 1, 2024, to implement the new minimum wage of N70,000 approved by the president in July, 2024.
