In a significant development, the organized labour in Niger State has declared an indefinite industrial action set to commence today, Wednesday. The decision was communicated through a formal letter addressed to the Niger State government via the Secretary to the State Government, jointly signed by Idris A. Lafene, the state chairman of the NLC, and Ibrahim Gana, the state chairman of the TUC.
The primary grievance prompting this decisive move is the unresolved disputes between the state government and the organized labour. The labour group has articulated several demands, chief among them being the reversal of political appointments, specifically those of Executive Directors of Finance, Operations, and Administration in various agencies.

Furthermore, the organised labour is urging the state government to reconsider appointments within the Local Government Service Commission and Civil Service Commission, along with appointments of directors general in certain agencies. The demand list extends to a clear and unequivocal statement from the government regarding the payment of the wage award.
Expressing concern over administrative decisions, the labour group cautioned against appointing unqualified civil servants as permanent secretaries and urged the government to withdraw the appointment of a vice principal on secondment as a permanent secretary, emphasizing the importance of career progression from within.

A noteworthy aspect of the memorandum is the warning against victimizing teachers and members of the educational sector. This caution stems from a recent incident in Agaie, where the state government alleged that a pupil had used vulgar and violent language against the federal government during a primary school debate.
The organised labour concluded the letter by formally notifying the government that the indefinite strike would commence from 8 am on Wednesday, the 21st of February, 2024, and will persist until their demands are comprehensively addressed.
The situation poses significant challenges for Niger State, as the workforce initiates an unprecedented strike, leaving the resolution of these disputes hanging in the balance.
