The NLC chairman, Gregory Olayi said the two-day warning strike was to press for negotiation and an agreement on the new minimum wage.
The ongoing two-day warning strike started on Monday, November 25while the nationwide strike is scheduled to commence on Sunday, December 1, 2024.
According to The Nation, Olayi disclosed that their next meeting has been adjourned till Thursday, November 28.
“Sunday is the beginning of the national strike, when the strike comes without any resolution, there’s no way we can stay out of it.
“We’ll mobilize people to join the strike; the Governor according to his representatives is saying he can pay N70,000. But payment of N70,000 doesn’t just come like that, it has its own consequential adjustments, so that’s what we’re talking about”
