Electricity and water supply to the two buildings housing the Senate and the House of Representatives have been shut down by Nigerian workers.
Daily Trust reports that other
facilities in the National Assembly complex are also affected.
The development came after
members of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), an affiliate
of the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC, shut down the National Assembly in
compliance with the indefinite strike declared by organised labour.
The entrance and exit gates of
the assembly complex have also been blocked by two buses by PASAN.
HERALDVIEWS reports that the
organised labour had insisted on embarking on an indefinite strike following
the federal government’s refusal to increase the minimum wage above N60,000.
However, Labour is demanding
N494,000. as a minimum wage from the government.
