The police, in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Monday, emphasized that avoiding the strike would avert a breakdown of law and order within the country.

It mentioned that negotiations would help both parties resolve the issue amicably, noting that the industrial action could bring substantial hardship to Nigerians.

The statement read, “In light of the Federal Government’s recent declaration that the planned strike is illegal and premature, the Nigeria Police Force views this action as a potential catalyst for increased tension and political instability.

“The NPF hereby urges organised labour to proceed with the ongoing deliberations at the Tripartite Committee, which is focused on determining a new minimum wage, and shelve the planned strike as such decision is essential to prevent untold hardships on members of the public and maintain order and stability within our country.

“The Nigeria Police Force assures the public that ample deployments have been made across the country to ensure that citizens can go about their lawful duties without hindrance.
