JNPSNC Calls Three-Day Strike Over Economic Hardship
Public service workers under the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) have announced a three-day warning strike set to begin at midnight on October 2, 2026, and conclude on October 4, 2026. This action is in response to worsening economic conditions and growing hardship among workers and their dependants.
The council's directive, signed by National Secretary Olowoyo Gbenga, cites the Federal Government's failure to address demands presented to President Bola Tinubu on September 21, 2026. The JNPSNC has called for participation from all public servants across federal, state, and local government services, emphasizing the collective impact of economic difficulties on workers and vulnerable Nigerians.
Key demands include a reduction in petrol prices to N500 per litre, immediate wage awards, and the establishment of a tripartite committee to discuss a new national minimum wage ahead of 2027. The council has indicated that further actions may follow if their demands are not met.
