Organised labour under the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Ogun State has commenced an indefinite strike over the government’s failure to remit pension deductions, implement the national minimum wage, and address other unresolved issues.
The action was confirmed in a statement on Monday by the Ogun State Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Mr. Demola Hameed-Benco, following a resolution reached at a statewide congress of civil service workers in Abeokuta, according to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN).
The statement directed all civil and public servants to withdraw their services immediately, citing the government’s alleged non-compliance with the Contributory Pension Scheme (CPS) established under the Ogun State Pension Reform Law of 2008, amended in 2013.
