The Federal Workers Forum (FWF) says it will stage a nationwide protest on Monday to demand an immediate review of workers’ wages and improved welfare.
The forum, in a statement signed by its National Coordinator, Mr Andrew Emelieze, on Thursday in Abuja, said the proposed protest followed the outcome of an emergency online meeting of federal workers across the federation.
Emelieze noted that the planned protest would be peaceful and held simultaneously across federal secretariats nationwide, including the picketing of selected government institutions.
“We have also encouraged federal workers to wear black attire every Monday as a symbol of protest against insecurity and the prevailing economic hardship in the country.
“Collective action has become necessary to draw attention to the plight of workers and the urgent need for responsible governance and effective leadership,” he said.
