“We have made the government to understand the level of sacrifice that workers can offer in this regard.

“The trade union side once more has given the state government an additional grace period of one week to the closing hours of Tuesday 25th February 2020 to conclude and sign agreement.

“At the expiration of this notice, the organized labour in the state will have no option than to mobilize her members to proceed without further notice, on indefinite strike action,” the bulletin said.

It urged Adamawa workers to remain calm and law-abiding as they await further directive.
