The meeting between the Nigeria Labour Congress and the Federal Government, on Monday, was deadlock, resulting in the scheduling of another meeting for a later date.
Minister of Labour and Employment, Simon Lalong, is also expected to meet with the representatives of the Trade Union Congress led by its National President, Festus Osifo, later Today.
Following NLC’s threat of indefinite strike action over what Labour tagged as “anti-poor” policies propagated by the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, Lalong invited the union to a meeting in his office in Abuja on Monday.
The meeting had in attendance senior officials of the ministry, the National President of the NLC, Joe Ajaero, the General Secretary, Emmanuel Ugboaja, National President of the Nigeria Union of Teachers, Titus Amba, among others.
It was however learnt that no concrete solution was reached and no major decision taken at the end of the meeting.
NLC had shunned an earlier meeting convened by the minister to avert an earlier two-day nationwide strike.
