In an effort to prevent the statewide strike scheduled to begin on October 3, the Federal Government has called an urgent meeting with the heads of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and its Trade Union Congress of Nigeria (TUC) counterpart.

According to information obtained, the meeting will take place later this evening in the conference room of Aso Villa, the office of the Chief of Staff to the President.

According to reports, the meeting was originally scheduled for today at noon but had to be moved to the evening so that Organised Labour could contact its leaders outside of Abuja.

According to sources, the NLC and its TUC counterpart received the government’s invitation this morning through the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
