Strike: Activities at Standstill in Osun Public Schools and LG Secretariats
Activities in local government secretariats and public schools in Osun State have come to a halt due to a sympathy strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE). The strike is in solidarity with the local government councils in the state over the withholding of funds meant for local government administration by the Federal Government.
All public primary and secondary schools in the state have been shut down as a result of the strike. Students of public schools were observed to be at home during a visit to public schools within the state capital, Osogbo. Schools visited included School of Science, Osogbo Grammar School, Saint Charles Grammar School, Saint James Grammar School, Baptist High School, Christ African School, Laro Grammar School, Islahudeen High School, and others.
The strike action has affected various sectors in the state, including local government secretariats. Activities in these offices were observed to be at a standstill as workers adhered to the directive from the labour unions.
The strike action started on Monday, as observed during a visit to Osogbo and Olorunda local government secretariats. Workers were seen milling around discussing the ongoing strike.
Speaking to DAILY POST, Bashir Oyelade, the Secretary of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Osun State, confirmed the strike action, stating that the unions are demanding the release of funds meant for the local government councils.
The strike is expected to last for three days, as stated by Oyelade, who urged the Federal Government to intervene and resolve the impasse.
