The Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress in Taraba State have declared an indefinite strike starting August 11, 2025, in response to alleged irregularities by the state’s Biometric Data Capture Committee.
Labour leaders claim these irregularities have adversely affected workers and accuse the committee of engaging in illegal practices.
The state government has been faulted for failing to respond to an earlier ultimatum.
The unions have directed all affiliate unions, branches, and units to form strike implementation committees and mobilize workers.
They also advised workers and the general public to stock up on necessary provisions in preparation for the strike.
