The civil servants in Ondo State on Wednesday
embarked on two-day warning strike following the
non-payment of their two months salaries by the
state government from the Federal Government’s
bailout fund.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that
organised labour on Tuesday in Akure gave the
state government a-24-hour ultimatum to pay all
the outstanding salaries of workers or face strike.
The Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), Nigeria Labour
Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC)
leaders took the decision at an emergency meeting
of the unions.
The state JNC Chairman, Mr Sunday Adeleye,
insisted that workers would embark on two-day
warning strike on Wednesday and Friday should
the arrears remain unpaid.
The unions said that Gov. Olusegun Mimiko was no
longer sensitive to workers’ plight despite
collecting the Federal Government’s bailout
package for salary payment.
Adeleye, who decried the payment of only one
month, said the strike would continue because the
agreement with the state government was to pay at
least two months and the outstanding balance of
May salary.
The unions directed all employees of the state
government to comply with the directive.
NAN reports that offices of government ministries
and agencies at the state secretariat, Alagbaka in
Akure, were under lock and key.
