Students of the Government Secondary School and Junior Secondary School in Kubwa have also been asked to return home until further notice, as a result of the ongoing strike.

A couple of students in senior secondary schools who spoke on Monday narrated that they were preparing for their second periodic test in the coming weeks, but had been told to go home until they were recalled or the strike was ended.

One of the students said, “We are in SS1. We just finished Assembly this morning and we were asked to go back home, because of the strike. And they said till further notice or they will call us back.

“We are in week 7, so we are supposed to be writing periodic tests next week. But now, we don’t know what will happen.”

CEOAFRICA had earlier reported that the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress commenced a nationwide strike on Monday, to protest the N60,000 minimum wage proposed by the Federal Government.

Also, some other unions, including the Academic Staff Union of Universities, aviation unions including the National Union of Air Transport Employees, the Association of Nigerian Aviation Professionals and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers, among others, have joined the industrial strike action by the organised labour.
