The strike is to express Nigerian workers’ anger at the refusal of the Federal Government to adopt the proposed new minimum wage.
Afolabi said the union was concerned and disturbed with the insensitive attitude of the Federal Government“to the very critical issue of negotiating a new minimum wage for Nigerian workers”.
“This is in view of the various socio- economic policies of this administration that have impoverished the working people of this country.
“Leaders of our great union at all levels, from the units, zones and branches, should immediately put all processes in place to ensure total compliance with this directive,”he added.
