The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, George Akume, and the leadership of the organized labour are reportedly in a closed-door meeting over the nationwide strike.
According to Vanguard, a source in the labour union disclosed that the labour leaders of the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria are meeting the SGF.
The source said, “Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and its counterpart, the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria TUC, have been invited for a meeting”. “We are there now to hear from them.”
Although the source did not reveal the reason for the meeting, the reason couldn’t be ascertained as of the time this report was filed.
On Friday, organized labour announced that it would commence a nationwide indefinite strike due to the Federal Government’s refusal to increase the proposed minimum wage from N60,000.
In a joint statement, Ajaero and his Trade Union Congress counterpart, Festus Osifo, expressed their serious concerns and disappointment over the Federal Government’s failure to enact a new National Minimum Wage Act.
WUZUPNIGERIA reported that the industrial action grounded economic activities in airports, the national assembly, amongst others.
