Plateau State civil servants yesterday stayed away from work in
compliance with the strike action declared by the Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) chairman in the state, Jubril Bancir.
All government establishments were closed and the gates of the state
secretariat were locked as the civil servants complied fully with the
strike call.
The strike action was called after the ultimatum given to Gov Jonah Jang and the Plateau state government expired.
Jibrin Bancir, the state chairman of NLC gave the directive while
briefing newsmen recently on the occasion of the 2015 Workers Day.
He said labour had negotiated for a long time with the state
government for the peaceful resolution of their dispute but without
success.
Bancir said workers had several issues that had lingered over the past years in spite of their effort to have them resolved.
He had listed some of the issues to include outstanding arrears of minimum wage, non-payment of salaries and promotion of staff.
