So, if government is not able to honor its promise, why should we continue to be waiting? We have to go back to strike,” he said. Zakaria Mohammed bemoaned what he describes as the government’s attempts to ignore their demand for a favorable condition of service. It will be recalled that on May 18, 2021, the group declared a strike over the failure of the government to pay its members their pension contributions under the tier-2 arrangement. On Wednesday, June 9, 2021, the National Labour Commission and the Fair Wages and Salaries Commission (FWSC) met with the leadership of the senior staff in an attempt to bring a finality to their concerns, leading to them calling off the strike.
