The planned strike stemmed from management’s failure to address 45 months of minimum wage arrears and consequential adjustments for staff members.
In response to this, NiMet’s Director of Human Resources, Nasiru Sani, said, “The issue of the unpaid 42-month consequential salary adjustment by the Federal Government predates the present NiMet management.”
