Workers in Oyo State have commenced an indefinite strike over their poor welfare by the state government.
This action followed a memo released to all members of the Nigeria Labour Congress and affiliate unions late decrying the deteriorating plight of their members.
The Chairman of the NLC, Bayo Titilola-Sodo, had on Wednesday given a hint on the impending strike while hosting journalists to breaking of fast in Ibadan.
Titilola-Sodo, who commended the Federal Government on guidelines issued by the Nigerian Financial Intelligence Unit concerning local government allocations, said there was no excuse for any state government not to pay the new minimum wage of N30, 000 recently signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari.
Titilola-Sodo had said, “No government should treat workers as slaves. Let there be justice on how we relate with fellow citizens. A number of teething issues had been on ground since 2011 when the outgoing government came into power.”
