NLC Begins Strike On Thursday As Meeting With FG Ends In Deadlock
The Nigeria Labour Congress has said it will proceed on its scheduled industrial strike starting on Thursday after it failed to reach an agreement with the Federal Government.
The leadership of the NLC met with the Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, in Abuja on Wednesday to reach an agreement but the meeting ended in a deadlock.
NLC President, Ayuba Wabba, stated that the meeting ended in a deadlock as the parties failed to reach an agreement, adding that the industrial action will hold as earlier announced.
Speaking at the end of the meeting with the government delegation, he noted that the failure of both parties to reach an agreement on the issues raised means the strike will proceed as scheduled.
The meeting between the minister, tripartite committee on minimum wage and labour leaders, was called to address the concerns raised by organised labour, but it failed to reach an agreement.
Another corrupt arms of government and politicians, given us half baked news, what are the issues discussed that was not concluded? With all the past strikes the country is only getting worse and everyday we hear the labour wants to go to strike, who cares if you embark on Nationwide strike but the shameful aspect is that you people don’t look back or seem to understand that Nigerians does not fall for this Anthics anymore, so it’s just you people and government, collect the bribe silently and move on, OSHIOMOLE did morethan this but in the end what happens, the truth about his being and ambition played out, so yours won’t be different, so at this juncture, we wish you all the best thanks.
