The organized labour in Nasarawa State has issued a three-week ultimatum to Governor Abdullahi Sule, demanding the prompt implementation of the newly approved N70,000 minimum wage for state workers.

This ultimatum also includes a call for the settlement of a substantial backlog of workers’ entitlements, which currently stands at around N250 million.

Ismaila Okoh, the Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Nasarawa State, presented the ultimatum during a press conference held in Lafia, the state capital, on Thursday.

This development follows an emergency meeting convened between labour leaders and the state’s workforce.

Okoh emphasized that the Nasarawa State government has until the end of August to commence payment of the new national minimum wage and to clear the outstanding workers’ entitlements.

He warned that if these demands are not met, the state could face an indefinite strike, which would disrupt essential services.

He highlighted that civil servants in Nasarawa State have made significant contributions towards the state’s development and urged the government to act quickly to improve the welfare of its workers.

In response to the ultimatum, Abigail Waya, the Head of Civil Service for Nasarawa State, acknowledged that while the government has not yet finalized the plans for the new minimum wage implementation, there is a commitment from the state government to address workers’ welfare issues.
