Federal government workers in Rivers State have expressed that they are unaware of a proposed nationwide warning strike, according to information from the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council, JNPSNC. The council initiated the strike due to escalating economic difficulties, surging fuel costs, and the government's lack of response to demands outlined in a letter addressed to President Bola Tinubu.
However, normal operations continued at the Federal Secretariat Complex in Port Harcourt when a visit was made by LEADERSHIP Weekend on Friday. An anonymous civil servant revealed that workers in the state have not received official notification from their union leaders regarding the strike, with the individual stating, "Our union leaders here are yet to formally inform us about the warning strike.
We are just hearing rumors." The Rivers State Secretariat Complex in Port Harcourt, meanwhile, was out of bounds for information as it is currently being renovated. The state government had instructed civil servants, particularly those in junior positions, to work from home in February until the renovation of the complex is finished in January 2027.
