The strike planned by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) for December 1 could flop, because some state chapters of the union have said they won’t take part.
Many states had agreed to pay above the N70,000 minimum, with Lagos and Rivers states offering the highest pay of N85,000.
However, 13 states and the Federal Capital Territory have yet to begin the implementation of the new minimum wage.
Some of the affected states include Abia, Akwa Ibom, Ebonyi, Ekiti, Imo, Nasarawa, Kaduna, and Katsina.
Others are Oyo, Sokoto, Yobe, Zamfara, Enugu states, and the FCT.
But less than 24 hours to the planned strike, some state chapters of the NLC withdrew and distanced themselves from the industrial action.
