The order is coming even as the tripartite meeting between organised labour and government representatives ended in a stalemate.

In a circular titled “Notice of court injunction on proposed strike action: Directive for compliance,” dated November 5, 2018 and signed by the Permanent Secretary, Service Welfare Office, Mrs. Didi Walson-Jack, the Head of Service directed all Permanent Secretaries to ensure strict compliance with the order.

She said the order became necessary because the National Industrial Court had restrained the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress from embarking on strike from Tuesday as scheduled.

“The attention of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation has been drawn to the order of interim injunction by the Abuja Division of the National Industrial Court of Nigeria dated November 2, 2018 restraining the Nigeria Labour Congress, the Trade Union Congress and their members from embarking on or taking part in the strike or industrial action to commence on Tuesday, November 6, 2018.

“In view of the above, I am directed to inform you that all staff are expected to continue to report at their duty posts to carry out their duties pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice for interlocutory injunction.

“All Permanent Secretaries and Heads of extra-Ministerial Departments and Agencies are to bring the content of this circular to the attention of their staff and ensure strict compliance,” the circular said.

Meanwhile, the meeting of the tripartite committee set up to work out a new national minimum wage has ended in a stalemate.

The Chairman of the committee, Ama Pepple, told journalists at the end of the meeting that they would be reconvening at 10pm, disclosing however, that the committee had arrived at two figures of N24,000 and N30,000 as the new national minimum wage.

She said the committee had appealed to the labour leaders to call off the strike and they have promised to consult and revert when the meeting reconvened at 10pm.
