FG Meets Wabba-led NLC Today

The Federal Government will today resume negotiation with the Ayuba Wabba-led faction of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), following Sunday’s suspension of its nationwide industrial action to force government to reverse the pump price of petrol to N86.50 from the current price of N145 per litre.

“The negotiation between the Federal Government and Comrade Ayuba Wabba-led NLC will reconvene tomorrow (today) by 2:00 pm and the venue is the conference hall of Secretary to the Government of the Federation,” Samuel Olowookere, Deputy Director, (Press), Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment confirmed in a statement yesterday.

The government had earlier reached an agreement with both the Joe Ajaero-led faction of the NLC and the Trade Union Congress of Nigeria.
