NLC Strike: Labour Cuts Off Electricity And Water Supply To National Assembly

The Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) have cut off electricity and water supply to the National Assembly as part of the indefinite strike declared by organized labor.

KanyiDaily recalls that the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) had embarked on indefinite strike on Monday, June 3, over the new national minimum wage.

The federal government had proposed a monthly minimum wage of up to N60,000, but labor rejected it, demanding N615,500 due to the high cost of living in Nigeria.

On Monday, newsmen who visited the National Assembly found the entrance and exit gates blocked with two buses by PASAN members.

Some auxiliary workers who showed up for work couldn’t enter the complex, while union officials ensured that everyone complied with the strike.

It was gathered that electricity and water supply to the Senate and House of Representatives buildings, as well as other facilities in the NASS complex, have also been shut down by the PASAN.

KanyiDaily recalls that the TUC president, Festus Osifo had previously shed light on the reason behind the proposed N615,000 new minimum wage.
