Nigeria is on the brink of a significant nationwide strike as various labor unions, including those representing oil, electricity, and aviation workers, mobilize in response to the government's refusal to meet their minimum wage demands. The Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) has called for an indefinite strike starting Monday, which is expected to cause widespread disruptions, including fuel scarcity, flight cancellations, and power outages. Despite last-minute negotiations, including meetings between labor leaders and the National Assembly, no resolution has been reached. The federal government has warned of severe economic consequences and potential legal repercussions for participating workers. The NLC's demand for a N494,000 minimum wage has been rejected by the government, citing a potential N9.5 trillion economic burden. Abia State workers, judicial workers, and NANS have also shown support for the strike.
