Officials of Transmission Company of Nigeria and Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company (IBEDC) in Osun State, on Tuesday joined the industrial action by the labour union.

Some banks shut operations immediately after they received a memo of the strike and business transactions were paralyzed in government offices.

Students of government public schools had resumed in the morning before the directive came to the schools and they were sent home immediately.

When our correspondent visited the Osun State University Teaching Hospital, Osogbo, patients were attended to, and medical activities were going on.

It was gathered that various unions in the hospital did not receive a memo to the industrial action on time.

The entrance of the state secretariat was opened, and the acting chairperson of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), in Osun, Modupe Oyedele, said workers in the state complied fully with the strike directive.

She said, “workers in Osun complied fully. Osun is in full compliance with the strike directive.”
