Federal Government has urged Organised Labour to reassess its decision to embark on an indefinite strike starting June 3, 2024, in protest of the government’s stance on the proposed minimum wage.

The government stated that the interests of the masses should be the top priority for Organised Labour.

Information Minister Idris Mohammed made the appeal in an exclusive interview with Saturday PUNCH, stressing the importance of collaboration between the government and Labour Unions.

Federal Government’s plea came shortly after Organised Labour announced a nationwide strike, set to begin on June 3, 2024, in response to the government’s refusal to increase the proposed minimum wage from N60,000.

NLC President Joe Ajaero confirmed the indefinite strike would commence at midnight on Monday, stressing “grave concern and disappointment” over the government’s failure to enact a new National Minimum Wage Act and reverse the electricity tariff hike to N65/kWh.

Ajaero, speaking alongside TUC President Festus Osifo criticized the government’s lack of seriousness and apparent disregard for the demands of Nigerian workers and citizens.
