State Chapters have withdrawn from the planned NLC Nationwide Strike.
NewsOnline Nigeria reports that the December 1 strike by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is at risk of collapsing as several state chapters have announced they will not participate in the proposed industrial action.
The strike was intended to protest the delay in implementing the new N70,000 minimum wage approved by President Bola Tinubu in July.

While many states have commenced payments above the approved minimum, including Lagos and Rivers, with offers of N85,000, 13 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) have yet to adopt the new wage structure.
These states include:
Abia
Akwa Ibom
Ebonyi
Ekiti
Imo
Nasarawa
Kaduna
Katsina
Oyo
Sokoto
Yobe
Zamfara
Enugu
FCT
Less than 24 hours before the proposed strike, several state NLC chapters announced their withdrawal, further casting doubt on the action’s feasibility.
