The Organised Labour in Osun State has directed its members to resume work following the conclusion of a three-day warning strike embarked upon in solidarity with local government workers in the state.

The directive was contained in a joint statement signed by the chairmen of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Comrade Christopher Arapasopo; Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Bimbo Fasaasi; and Joint Negotiating Council (JNC), Comrade Lekan Adediran.

The labour unions commended workers, pensioners and affiliate unions across the state for their solidarity, cooperation and peaceful conduct throughout the industrial action.

The statement read, “The Organised Labour in Osun State expresses its profound appreciation to all affiliate unions, workers, pensioners and members for their unwavering solidarity, cooperation and exemplary conduct throughout the three-day sympathy strike in support of the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE), Osun State Council.

“We commend all members for their commitment, discipline, unity and peaceful conduct during the industrial action. Your solidarity has once again demonstrated the strength of the labour movement and our collective resolve to defend workers’ rights, welfare and dignity.”

Consequently, the unions directed all workers to resume duties at midnight on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, urging affiliate unions and their members to comply with the directive and return to their respective workplaces.

“Accordingly, all workers are hereby directed to resume work at midnight today, Wednesday, 11th November, 2026. All affiliate unions and their members are enjoined to comply fully with this directive and return to their respective workplaces,” the statement added.

The labour leaders, however, urged members to remain calm, steadfast and united, while sustaining their mobilisation efforts and remaining on standby for further directives from the leadership of the Organised Labour.
