The Oyo State chapter of Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) had debunked the news circulating about the state Council declaring strike commencing from Monday, 2nd December, 2024.
This is contained in a Press Statement signed by the state Secretary of NLC, Comrade Aribatise Adebayo and made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Sunday.
According to the statement, “the SEC and SAC of the NLC Oyo State Council met on Thursday, 28th November, 2024 and discussed extensively on the New Minimum Wage Implementation in Oyo State and later concluded that all forms of industrial actions be put on hold since the Committee set up by the government is already having a robust discussion on a favourable consequential adjustment in accordance with the pronounced #80,000 acceptable salary for the entire workforce in the state”.
“In view of this, the Oyo State Council of NLC will not be going on strike so as to give room for the Committee on consequential adjustment to get the table completed with needed endorsement for implementation within the next couple of days”, the statement added.
In his words: “we wish to call on the entire workers of Oyo state to remain calm while the arrangement for a robust minimum wage table for Oyo state is concluded by the joint committee of the state government and the labour movement”, he concluded.
