The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has announced that the nationwide strike, which began on Monday, will continue pending the outcome of a meeting with its organs scheduled for Tuesday.

"Until we hear from our organs at our meeting scheduled for today, 4th June, we are still on strike," the labour union posted on its X handle early Tuesday.

This statement came shortly after the Federal Government held a meeting with labour unions, including the Trade Union Congress (TUC), at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), to resolve the strike.

Despite thorough deliberations, the NLC stated that the federal government agreed to a minimum wage higher than N60,000. "As a result, the tripartite committee will meet daily for the next week to finalize an agreeable national minimum wage," the NLC's statement read.

The NLC confirmed it would be meeting with its organs today and assured that no worker would face repercussions due to the industrial action. The statement was signed by NLC President Joe Ajaero and TUC President Festus Osifo.

The strike has significantly disrupted operations across various sectors, including businesses, airports, schools, banks, and especially public institutions.
