Civil servants in Delta, on Monday, complied with the directives of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to begin an indefinite strike.
The labour unions had handed down the order over the Federal Government’s failure to approve and implement a new minimum wage for workers after the May 31 deadline.
Most government offices at the State and Federal Secretariat were not opened.
Also, the State House of Assembly and the State High Court complex were closed and officials of the labour unions were seen enforcing compliance with the directive.
Also, students of public primary and secondary schools in the state, who had gone early to school, were seen returning home due to their teachers’ compliance with the strike.
