Public Servants Threaten Three-Day Strike Over Petrol Price

Background
share close

Public servants under the Joint National Public Service Negotiating Council have threatened to begin a three-day warning strike from October 2, 2026, if the Federal Government fails to address their demands over the rising cost of petrol and workers’ welfare.

The council is demanding a reduction in petrol price to N500 per litre, an immediate wage award to cushion the impact of rising living costs, and the establishment of a committee to begin negotiations for a new national minimum wage expected in 2027.

The council said the September 30 deadline given to the Federal Government remains in effect, warning that failure to address the demands could lead to the planned strike by public servants nationwide.
