Workers in Bayelsa State will on Thursday proceed on an indefinite strike over months of salary arears owed by the state government.

This is just as the 21-day ultimatum issued by workers’ unions to the Bayelsa State Government to pay all outstanding salaries and allowances elapsed on Wednesday.



The state chapters of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress had issued an ultimatum to the government on Thursday, April 28, 2016.

They had warned that at the end of the given time, they would take an action against the government if it failed to comply with their demands.

The workers are currently owed four months salaries with pensioners being owed seven months arrears and local government councils workers about 12 months unpaid salaries.

The NLC, and the TUC, in a joint meeting on Wednesday at the Council Secretariat in Yenagoa, resolved that they could no longer guarantee the existing industrial harmony in the state.

The unions said the directive became imperative as government had refused to yield to their demands by relieving workers of the huge economic pains they were going through.
