Public servants represented by the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) in Nigeria have announced a planned three-day warning strike commencing October 2nd. The strike action is in response to the Federal Government’s (FG) refusal to reduce petrol prices following a recent increase. Workers are also demanding the approval of a new wage award to offset the economic impact of the fuel price hike. The JNPSNC stated the strike will proceed if their demands are not met. This action threatens disruption to public services across Nigeria. Further details on the dispute and potential ramifications can be found at punchng.com. The union hopes the FG will engage in meaningful negotiations to avert the planned industrial action.
