Local Government Allocations: Osun NLC Orders Three-Day Solidarity Strike

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in Osun State has directed its affiliate unions to hold a three-day solidarity strike in support of the local government employees’ union, NULGE, over the continued withholding of statutory local government allocations. The action follows the expiry of a seven-day ultimatum to the federal and Osun State governments and was approved at an emergency executive council meeting on October 28, 2026. The strike is scheduled to run from midnight on November 8 until midnight on November 11. The NLC ordered full participation and warned that unions undermining the directive could face disciplinary action.
