Federal workers in Oyo State have embarked on an indefinite strike.
The development is over non-payment of their five months outstanding wage awards.
The workers, under the aegis of the Federal Workers Forum, declared the commencement of the strike on Tuesday.
Speaking during the commencement of the industrial action, National Coordinator of FWF, Comrade Andrew Emelieze and the Secretary General, Comrade Itoro Obong, observed that the workers had earlier issued a 21-day ultimatum to the federal government before the strike was declared.
The labor leaders said the workers are demanding immediate payment of outstanding five months wage award arrears and implementation of 40% peculiar allowance and the payment of its arrears.
The workers vowed to continue with the strike until their demands are met by the federal government.
