In a move to prevent the nationwide strike planned by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) for Monday, Sept. 28, the Federal Government has scheduled a meeting with the leadership of organised labour for 7p.m on Sunday.
The meeting was earlier adjourned to Monday at 3p.m following the inability of the Federal Government to reach an agreement with Labour on fuel and electricity tariff hikes.
However, the Deputy Director, Press and Public Relations, Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Charles Akpan, said the meeting had brought forward to Sunday, 7p.m.
