The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has threatened to commence strike in Abia State on Friday over six-month unpaid salaries of civil servants by the state government.
This was announced by NLC President, Joseph Ajaero during the inaugural meeting of the National Administrative Council (NAC) of the NLC in Abuja.
Ajaero revealed that the overlapping debt owed to workers by the Abia State Government made the Union decide with the National Executive Council (NEC) to embark on a long-drawn protest in the state at the end of the 14 days warning given to the state.
The NLC had earlier served a notice of intention to stage what it described as mother of all strikes in Abia State in a letter dated 13th February and signed by the NLC President over the government’s alleged refusal to pay arrears of workers’ salaries and pension retirement benefits.
