The labour union has also demanded the payment of outstanding workers’ entitlements, which have accumulated to about N250 million.

Ismaila Okoh, Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Nasarawa State, issued the ultimatum during a press briefing in Lafia, the state capital, on Thursday. This followed an emergency meeting with labour leaders and workers.

“We are giving the Nasarawa State government until the end of August to commence payment of the new national minimum wage and settle other worker entitlements to avoid an indefinite strike,” Okoh said.

He emphasized that civil servants in the state have made considerable contributions to its development and urged the government to act promptly to improve workers’ conditions.

Okoh warned that failure to meet these demands would lead to a statewide strike, potentially disrupting essential services.

In response, the state’s Head of Civil Service, Abigail Waya, acknowledged that plans for implementing the new minimum wage are still pending but assured workers of the government’s commitment to enhancing their welfare.
