The civil servants shunned work from July 31 to protest the non-payment of salary deductions, leave bonuses and to demand a review of pension allowances.

The strike, called by the NLC, the Trade Union Congress, the Nigeria Union of Pensioners and the Nigeria Union of Local Government Employees, paralysed government activities during the period.

The workers demanded that Governor Seyi Makinde must address them personally and not through proxies on all contentious issues before they would call off the strike.
