The Federal Workers Forum 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 communiqué issued after an online meeting on Sunday, upbraided the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress for not rising to the occasion and providing leadership in this regard.
In the communiqué signed by its National Coordinator, Mr Emelieze, and Secretary, Mr Ayo Ogundele, and made available to journalists, the forum accused the Federal Government of exploiting workers and failing to guarantee their safety.
The group said an online poll of its members overwhelmingly backed an immediate strike to address the current hardship and insecurity crisis confronting Nigeria.
It said the July 2024 minimum wage adjustment has been a hoax for federal workers.
