Osun State government workers went back to work on Thursday after finishing a 3 day warning strike.
The state secretariat in Abere and the Osun Assembly, which had been shut since Monday, reopened, and workers at the Olorunda and Osogbo council secretariats also returned to their posts.
The strike was called in solidarity with the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees (NULGE) in Osun, which is demanding that federal and state funds due to councils be released.
On Wednesday, the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress and the Joint Negotiating Council directed workers to go back to work from midnight on 11 November.
They thanked the workers, retired staff, and partner unions for behaving well and following the rules.
They also told everyone to stay ready and wait for the next update.
