The organised labour in Rivers State has declared an indefinite strike, starting from midnight of Monday over the perceived failure of the state government to meet demands on the new minimum wage.
Mrs. Beatrice Itubo, who is the Chairperson, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), following a joint emergency meeting with the state’s Trace Union Congress (TUC) said the government failed to respond to a 7-day ultimatum issued by labour.
Mr. Austin Jonah, who is the Chairman TUC, Rivers state, maintained that there is no going back on the indefinite strike, he also advised members to sit at home.
