The Gombe State joint public service negotiating council says it has been mobilising workers in the state for strike following the failure of the state government to agree to pay them the N30,000 new minimum wage.



The chairman of the council Shuaibu Chiroma stated this while briefing journalists in Gombe on Tuesday.

He said, “We are here to brief members on the events that had happened because of the fight for the N30,000 minimum wage.

“We have had a series of correspondence between labour and government and nothing came out of it. We have issued directives to our unions to commence mobilisation for strike from today to December 31.

“We will be here on Tuesday next week to tell members the type of strike will are going to do. It should either be a warning strike or a total strike.”

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Strategy and Communication Anas Kubalu said he needed to be briefed on the issue before making comments.
