The Federal Workers Forum (FWF) has threatened to mobilise federal workers for an indefinite nationwide strike over rising insecurity in the country and unresolved wage issues.
The forum in a communique issued after an online meeting on Saturday, upbraided the Nigeria Labour Congress and Trade Union Congress for not rising to the occasion and showing leadership in this respect.
In the communique signed by the National Coordinator and Secretary, Messrs Andrew Emelieze, and Ayo Ogundele respectively, and made available to newsmen in Ibadan on Sunday, the forum accused the federal government of exploiting workers and failing to guarantee their safety.
The group said that an online poll of its members overwhelmingly backed immediate strike action to address the current hardship and insecurity crisis confronting Nigeria.
