The strike follows an earlier communiqué issued on November 5, 2024, during a general meeting where eight demands were presented to the Cross River State Government.
The association highlighted that a letter dated November 11, 2024, had been sent to the state governor, extending the strike notice to November 22, 2024, to allow time for the government to address their demands.

“Furthermore, Bulletin No. 1 dated November 27, 2024, announced a warning strike from November 27 to November 29, 2024. Despite this, the Cross River State Government has neither addressed our demands as outlined in the communiqué of November 5, 2024, nor initiated negotiations with us,” the statement read.
In response to the government’s inaction, the association declared: “We are now embarking on an indefinite strike until our demands are met.”
