FG Meets Labour Leaders Amid Ongoing Nationwide Strike

The Federal Government is currently engaging in a meeting with the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Trade Union Congress (TUC) to address the ongoing nationwide strike.

The meeting is being held at the office of the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, as reported by NTA news on Tuesday, November 14.

Key figures present at the meeting include Simon Lalong, the Minister of Labour, and Nkeiruka Onyeajeocha, the Minister of State. Other participants include Festus Osifo, President of TUC, Emmanuel Ugboaja, NLC Secretary-General, and various other labor leaders.

KanyiDaily recalls that the NLC and TUC had ordered a nationwide strike on Monday midnight, November 13, due to the assault and mistreatment of NLC President Joe Ajaero in Owerri, Imo State, on November 1, along with other unresolved labor-related concerns.

Despite a restraining order issued by the national industrial court in Owerri and the federal government’s order prohibiting the unions from striking, the labour unions stated that the strike would persist until “government at all levels wake up to their responsibilities.”

KanyiDaily recalls that many unions including the National Union of Electricity Employees, the National Union of Banks, and others joined the NLC TUC strike.
