Osun State workers began a three-day sympathy strike at midnight on November 8, following a directive from the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) state council. The action supports the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees amid a dispute over statutory allocations owed to local councils.

The NLC said the strike followed the expiry of a seven-day ultimatum to federal and state authorities. The action is scheduled to conclude at midnight on Wednesday, November 11. Reports by TheCable and Radio Nigeria confirm the order and start date; the dispute over the funds remains unresolved.
