Employees in Bauchi State abandoned several government institutions in accordance with the direction of the national leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) over the two-day warning strike.

The Abubakar Umar State Secretariat, Federal Secretariat, Ministry of Education, Bauchi State Water Board, Federal Inland Revenue, and special schools are among the institutions that are impacted.

The State Secretariat’s entrance is still shut, and only NLC members can be seen on the grounds.
