Hope Arises To End Strik As NLC, TUC Set Emergency Meeting For 7pm

In lieu of the meeting held with the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu, the Nigeria Labour Congress, NLC and the Trade Union Congress, TUC will have an emergency joint National Executive Council (NEC), meeting by 7pm Wednesday.

The National Vice President of the TUC, Tommy Etim, disclosed this in an interview with Punch in Abuja after the meeting with the government officials.

Etim said the NSA briefed the leadership of the organised labour on the steps taken so far.

Etim noted that the union leaders were satisfied with the NSA’s steps so far, as the commitment of the NSA was secured.

He said, “We commend the steps taken so far by the NSA. He made us understand that he didn’t see the issue on the ground as a political fight. He also noted that two people have been arrested in line with the brutalisation of Ajaero.

“Initially, the government felt the strike would not hold. They were shocked to see that we went ahead with our threats.

“We are going to have an extraordinary joint NEC meeting this evening by 7pm and I can tell you there is hope,” he said.

The organised labour is protesting against the alleged brutalisation of its National President, Joe Ajaero, and the failure’s of the government to implement some of the agreements reached on October 2, 2023, effectively and the issues are expected to come up at the NLC emergency meeting.
