Niger State civil servants have said they will embark on indefinite hunger strike to protest the state government’s proposal to pay a percentage of their monthly salaries.

The civil servants said this in a communique jointly signed by the Chairman, Nigeria Labour Congress, Yakubu Garba and the state Trade Union Congress, Yunusa Tanimu, shortly after an emergency meeting in Minna, the state capital.

The communique also noted that the civil servants will at a later date, organize a special prayer session, to seek Allah’s intervention.

The communique expressed dismay in the way the State Task Force Committee on COVID-19 did not include civil servants in the distribution of palliatives across the state.
