has appealed to workers to shelve their strike over the national minimum wage and return to negotiation with it on their demands.in the state, Emmanuel Bankole, on Tuesday, had declared a one-week warning strike over the failure of the government to implement the new salary structure.
This followed the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum the workers’ union had issued to the state government on the issue. But the Secretary to the State Government, Tokunbo Talabi, in a statement on Thursday, appealed to the organised Labour to return to the negotiation table with the government.The official said the warning strike “is most unfortunate and a negation of civility and expected ethos that should underpin negotiations between government and organised labour who are presumed partners in the task of developing the state and catering for the welfare and wellbeing of all citizens and residents.
