Nigerias Minimum Wage Strike Brings Three States to a Standstill

A nationwide minimum wage strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress has brought daily activities to a standstill in three states and the Federal Capital Territory, citing non-implementation of the new national minimum wage. The industrial action has affected civil service operations across the affected areas.

Industrial workers in Nigeria's capital city and three states went on strike, bringing the civil service to a grinding halt, due to the non-implementation of the new national minimum wage as mandated by law. The strike has resulted in widespread disruption across FCT and the affected states, with many workers joining the industrial action. The strike is a response to the government's failure to meet its obligations under the minimum wage act. With no clear resolution in sight, the strike continues to affect daily life and operations in the areas.
