The nationwide strike recorded partial compliance in Sokoto, Kebbi, Katsina, Enugu and Anambra states, according to reports.
Sokoto
In Sokoto, workers were on their duty post at federal and state government owned hospitals, as well as higher institutions.
Although courts visited were not sitting, primary and secondary schools were operating while some offices remained opened at the federal secretariat.
Commercial banks opened for business in spite of attempt by labour leaders to make them stop operations.
However, Aminu Umar, State Chairman of Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), said the trike had recorded substantial compliance and would be total in next coming days.
Kebbi
In Kebbi public schools have been shut in compliance with the strike order.
A teacher in one of the public schools in Birnin Kebbi, Mrs. Richeal Ngozi, told NAN that they had to send back pupils after the state branch of Nigeria Union of Teachers ordered teachers to remain at home.
When NAN visited a branch of Keystone Bank, normal operations were going on.
However, a worker of the bank, who sought anonymity, said: “We are just waiting for an email message from the bank head office in Lagos, by 12 noon, we will close and join the strike.”
Also, activities at the Federal Medical Centre, Birnin Kebbi, have been paralysed as staff joined the strike.
At the state secretariat, normal official work was going on as at the time of this report.
Enugu
It was observed that banks, other corporate bodies and most schools failed to carry out the directive of organised labour to embark on strike.
Except for few institutions like the Federal Government College located at Independence Layout, others public schools were open.
Some of the teachers of the schools that failed to embark on the strike, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said they did not receive any directive to go on strike.
But the Chairman of Enugu State Trade Union Congress (TUC), Comrade Igbokwe Chukwuma Igbokwe, said the compliance level was 60 per cent.
He attributed their inability to actualise 100 per cent compliance to the gap in communication, adding that the deadlocked meeting they had with government ended very late and hence their inability to get across to all the workers.
Katsina
Workers in Katsina State, including those from the civil service and commercial banks yesterday, partially complied with the directive of the national leadership of the organised labour.
Investigation by The Nation showed that the workers shunned their various duty posts even as the state Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Tanimu Lawal Saulawa, held another round of meeting with about 30 leaders of affiliated unions in the state to ensure full compliance with the directive on the strike.
The meeting, which took place at the NLC state Secretariat located at Sabo Layi area in Katsina, according to one of the leaders, was to strategise on the enforcement of the warning strike and ensuring compliance
Saulawa told reporters that the strike was nationwide and that he and the leadership of organised labour have the responsibility to ensure its success.
Anambra
The warning strike was partial complied with in Anambra State.
When The Nation monitored the situation yesterday in the state, banks and hospitals and schools were opened.
But at the state secretariat in Awka, there were movements of some workers, while the offices were locked.
However, the state Chairman of NLC, Jerry Nnubia, said he was satisfied with the level of compliance.
