The State Secretary of Birnin Kebbi Federal Medical Centre of National Association of Nurses and Midwives, Usman Mohammed, said they had not received any signal to embark on the strike.

“We are waiting for the signal from the national secretariat of our association and until we receive the signal we will not embark on the strike”, he added.

A cross section of workers and residents indicated they were not satisfied with the reasons advanced by the NLC to embark on the strike.

In Kano, the nationwide strike action called by the organised labour has also met a setback, as workers in the state ignored the directive.

A NAN correspondent who monitored the situation reported that state and federal government workers had all reported to their various places of work.

At Audu Bako Secretariat, and Federal Government Secretariat at about 8:30 am, workers were seen in their respective offices while others were seen within the premises in groups discussing about the strike.

Similarly, all commercial banks, markets and motor parks had all opened for business in the state.

As at the time of filing the report, traders at the two major markets in Sabon Gari and Kantin Kwari had opened their shops for business as directed by the National President of the Harmonised Traders Union of Nigeria, Alhaji Bature Abdulaziz.

Abdulaziz had on Monday called on traders across the country to ignore the planned strike by the labour unions.

At the First Bank of Nigeria, Kano main branch, workers were also seen going about their normal schedules.

One of the staff of the Bank who spoke to NAN on condition of anonymity, described the strike as unnecessary, adding that majority of Nigerians were not in support of it.

“This strike is a failure as most Nigerians are not in support of it”, he said.
