According to the source, “The meeting did not hold. It has been postponed. It was postponed because of the FEC meeting today (yesterday). Government representatives said they forgot that today (yesterday) was FEC meeting. The meeting will now hold next week Tuesday”.
Earlier, reports reveal that the signing of a 15-point MoU with Labour by the government led to the suspension of the planned strike on 3rd October strike over what Labour described as mass excruciating suffering in the country because of the removal of subsidy on petrol and floating of the foreign exchange by the federal government.
