It was also learnt that the strike action is not unconnected with the N35,000 palliative stipend that the Federal government has stopped paying to the federal workers.

Report stated that the federal workers were only paid once for the month of September.

A circular sent by the secretaries of the unions,  Emmanuel Igboaja and Nuhu Toro, for NLC  and TUC respectively, which was released on Saturday, indicated that all workers are to embark on the strike action with immediate effects commencing from the midnight of Monday.
