The Nigeria labour congress and other partner in the organised labour have jointly declared an indefinite strike action commencing from November 6, 2018.
The strike was embarked on following the refusal of the federal government and state government to act positively on the N 30,000.00 National Minimum wage as argued by the tripartite committee on the review of the national Minimum wage.
In complying with the directive of the labour centers, various organisation and bodies under the congress have further joined and shown support to the nationwide strike.

National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE), through a signed circular by the genial secretary Joe Ajareo added that the organised labour have demonstrated enough commitment to resolve the impasse through social dialogue but the government has continued to renege from implementing the agreement reached.
