The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) have returned to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, to conclude negotiations with the Federal Government and made known their decision regarding organised labour’s indefinite strike slated to commence tomorrow (Tuesday).
Source from the NLC said the meeting was slated for 4pm but it is yet to commence as at the time of filing this report.
Earlier in the day, NLC and TUC had separate emergency National Executive Council meetings to convey government’s offer to workers to their large decision making body. They also deliberated on the offers made by the government and have taken a decision.
At the end of the meeting of the unions and the Federal Government on Sunday, one of the resolutions contained in the statement issued by the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mallam Mohammed Idris read: “NLC and TUC will consider the offers by the Federal Government with a view to suspending the planned strike to allow for further consultations on the implementation of the resolutions above”.
