In a bid to avert the planned nationwide strike scheduled for October 3, the Federal Government of Nigeria has called for an emergency meeting with the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC).
The meeting is set to take place later this evening at the Aso Villa, Conference Room of the Office of the Chief of Staff to the President.
It was gathered that the government had earlier fixed the meeting for 12 noon today, but had to be shifted to evening to enable Organised Labour to reach out to their leaders outside Abuja.
According to sources, the NLC and its TUC counterpart received the government’s invitation this morning through the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
