The Cross River State Governor, Bassey Otu has appealed to labour unions in the state to shelve their planned industrial action over the non-implementation of the new minimum wage.
The Governor made the appeal during the 5th edition of the State Solemn Assembly which was held on Saturday at U.J Esuene Stadium, Calabar.
Gov Otu who was represented by the Deputy (Peter Odey) said his administration remained committed to the implementation of the new wage of N70,000 recently signed into law by President Bola Tinubu.
It could be recalled that labour unions in Cross River State issued notice on Wednesday of a two-day warning strike scheduled to begin at midnight Sunday.
The unions attributed the planned action to the breakdown of negotiations between them and the Cross River State Government.
Organised labour threatened that after the warning strike, industrial action would continue with a nationwide strike on 1 December.
” I however appeal to the leadership of Organised Labour and all affiliates of the NLC (Nigeria Labour Congress) and TUC (Trade Union Congress) to suspend their planned strike.”
“I enjoin them to support the government in the quest to improve the lots of our people,” Gov. Otu declares
