Public sector unions under the aegis of the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council, JNPSNC, have directed all federal, state and local government employees to begin a three-day warning strike from midnight today. The protest is set to happen due to the failure of the government to address their demands.
Citing the worsening economic and mental hardship being experienced by workers and other Nigerians, the council urged union officials in the federal, state and local government services to ensure total compliance with the industrial action.
The warning strike followed the failure of the Federal Government to address demands contained in a letter dated September 21, 2026, to President Bola Tinubu by the national leadership of the JNPSNC.
Members of the JNPSNC include the Nigerian Civil Service Union (NCSU); Medical and Health Workers Union (M&HWU); Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN); and National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM).
Others are the Amalgamated Union of Public Corporations, Civil Service Technical and Recreational Employees (AUPCTRE); Nigeria Union of Public Service, Reportorial, Secretarial, Data Processors and Allied Workers (NUPSRAW); National Union of Printing, Publishing and Paper Products Workers (NUPPPPROW); and National Union of Agriculture and Allied Employees (NUAEE).
