The protesting workers say the management had agreed to begin implementation of the new salary adjustment and review from January 2023, but they kept shifting the date.
The Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige in a media chat with journalists in his office had promised to begin implementation of the new salary packages.
As at the time of filing this report, the NSITF Management and officials of the Federal Ministry of Labour and employment are yet to react to the development.
