The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Kano State on Friday issued a seven-day ultimatum to the state government to refund and stop what it described as “illegal deduction” from civil servants’ salaries or face industrial action.
The state’s NLC hairman, Kabiru Ado Minjibir, disclosed this after an emergency meeting of the State Executive Council.
He said failure of the government to stop the “unexplained” deduction before the end of its ultimatum on April 6, 2021, workers would embark on a three-day warning strike from the midnight of April 7.
Minjibir expressed disappointment over the action of the state government, which he described as a clear violation of the agreement on the new minimum wage law of 2019.
