The three-day warning strike by public sector unions under the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council (JNPSNC) began with varying compliance across the country. The strike was called to protest the government's refusal to reduce the pump price of petrol to N500 per litre from the current N1,400 to N2,000, and to demand a wage award and other measures to cushion the effects of reform policies. Additionally, teaching and non-teaching staff in Lagos State government-owned universities threatened an indefinite strike from midnight Friday over unmet demands and breach of agreements.
