Government activities in Ekiti state were paralyzed on Monday, June 4, as workers adhered to the nationwide strike called by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC). Ministries, parastatals, and public institutions were largely deserted.
At the state secretariat along Bank Road in Ado-Ekiti, the High Court, and public schools, gates were locked and facilities were empty. While a few workers reported to duty on special arrangements, such as at the State House of Assembly for a one-year celebration in office, the majority stayed away.

The strike comes in response to the federal government's failure to finalize and implement a new national minimum wage and to address other grievances raised by the unions. The NLC and TUC have called for full compliance with the strike until further notice.
