Public service workers across Nigeria have announced a three-day warning strike scheduled for October 2 to 4, 2026, to protest worsening economic conditions and demand improved welfare.
The Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) directed its national and state executives to immediately mobilise workers for the industrial action, which will begin at midnight on Friday and end on Sunday.
The directive was contained in a circular dated October 1, 2026, and signed by the council’s National Secretary, Olowoyo Gbenga.
The council said the decision followed the Federal Government’s alleged failure to respond to demands submitted to President Bola Tinubu in a letter dated September 21.
