Public workers under the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) have expressed concerns about the growing economic hardship in the country, caused by high living costs and the expensive Premium Motor Spirit (PMS). They have given the federal government until September 30, 2026, to address their demands or risk initiating a warning strike starting October 2, 2026.
JNPSNC, comprised of eight public sector unions, has issued a three-day warning strike notice, which will commence if the government does not lower petrol prices to N500 per litre, announce a wage award, and initiate negotiations for a new National Minimum Wage.
