The Oyo State Council of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) announced on Saturday that it will not be participating in a strike following national directives from the unionβs leadership.
The state chapter dismissed rumours about an alleged strike planned for Monday, December 2, 2024, as false.
This decision followed an extensive discussion on minimum wage implementation during an enlarged meeting of the State Executive Council (SEC) and State Advisory Council.
The state secretary, Comrade Aribatise Adebayo, explained that the union opted to suspend any potential strike action as the government-appointed committee is already engaged in positive discussions aimed at reaching a favorable consequential adjustment.
This adjustment will align with the N80,000 minimum wage and an acceptable salary structure for the state workforce.
He further stated that the move would provide the committee with sufficient time to finalise the salary table and secure the necessary endorsements for implementation in the coming days.

Comrade Adebayo said: βThe attention of the Council had been drawn to a news circulating about Oyo State NLC declaring strike commencing from Monday 2nd December 2024.
βThe SEC and SAC of the NLC Oyo State Council met on Thursday 28th November, 2024 and discussed extensively on the New Minimum Wage Implementation in Oyo State and later concluded that all forms of industrial actions be put on hold since the committee set up by the government is already having a robust discussion on a favourable consequential adjustment in accordance with the pronounced N80,000 and acceptable salary table for the entire workforce in the state.
βIn view of this, the Oyo State Council of NLC will not be going on strike so as to give room for the committee on consequential adjustment to get the table completed with needed endorsement for implementation within the next couple of days.
βTo this end, we wish to call on the entire workers of Oyo State to remain calm while the arrangement for a robust minimum wage table for Oyo State is concluded by the joint committee of the State Government and the Labour movement.β
